I played it during the summer of 2013, but I decided to play it again (and maybe try a different route heehee). But I got a new computer last month, so I had to download it again on my new one. And I remembered how difficult it was to download last time. While I was looking for the download link, I saw that a lot of other people were having trouble downloading it too. So here's my little guide!
HOW TO DOWNLOAD
Download link: http://dl.vmall.com/c0394abvnh
Click on the button that looks like this:
Then unpack the .rar file and open it to find this:
When you click on the file, you might see an error that says "could not open boxfile." This happens if you're not in China, where the game was made. Solution: Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Administrative -> Change System Local -> Chinese (Simplified). Then restart your computer and it'll be ready to play!
But doing this might create problem with programs that are American or whatever country you're from. You can solve that by changing it back to English/your language.You can only play the game when it's set to Chinese. So after you're done playing, remember to change it back to your language!
BUT I DON'T KNOW CHINESE D:
There's no English patch for the game (yet).
You can translate the game by doing some tech-y stuff, like this: http://princemakerproject.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/play-chinese-games-with-online-translation-tools/
...but I'm really bad with technology, and Google translate isn't very accurate anyway.
Thankfully, there are some super nice people who translated it online! It's much easier to play and understand this way.
This one has detailed translations for up to Chapter 1 on Gintoki's route: http://yuehua-project.tumblr.com/
And this one is from the Yorozuya Soul forums: http://forums.yorozuyasoul.com/index.php?topic=1609.0This one doesn't translate every sentence like the first one, but it's complete. Just scroll down and look for the comments by the awesome Gin-san aka GinSoul.
Thanks to everyone who translated! Without you, I wouldn't have been able to understand anything.
WHERE'S THE REST OF THE GAME?
The game ends on Chapter 4. If you end on Takasugi's ship and it takes you to the home screen, you finished! I think the second part of the game is supposed to come out, but I'm not sure.
So yeah. That was my little guide. Have fun!
