Installation

Please note that we do not officially support installations using mod management software, nor do we support installations from sources other than our official GitHub.

Read the instructions carefully.

Using the Official JN Installer (recommended)

  1. Download a fresh copy of DDLC from the official site. Do not use a Steam installation.
  2. Extract/unzip DDLC.
  3. Download the Official JN Installer for your operating system (one starting with jn-installer).
  4. Extract the JN Installer file you have downloaded.
  5. Run the JN Installer, and follow the steps in the application: make sure you select your DDLC folder when prompted (the one formatted DDLC-1.1.X-x, E.G. DDLC-1.1.0-pc).
    1. If on Windows, you may receive a security warning from SmartScreen: to continue, click More Info, then Run anyway.
  6. This only applies if you have played the Just Natsuki BETA, wish to completely reset your progress, or if you are running the discontinued build from Wix/Google Drive: You may already have a persistent from the old version of JN - this must be deleted.
    1. Guidance on how to find your persistent can be found here.
  7. Finally, launch DDLC.
    1. If you are on OSX, you may have to review your security settings for the game to launch properly; please see the guidance listed here.
  8. Enjoy!
