Installing the game
Quick step-by-step guide
How to install the game as intended by Illusion. Follow this and you'll be playing in no time!
- Extract the ImmoralWard.iso file to an English named folder, e.g. C:\Downloads\IW
- Mount C:\Downloads\IW\ImmoralWard.iso with Daemontools Lite (other mounting software has been known to fail with Japanese games, so please use Daemontools Lite! - it's completely free)
- DO NOT autorun, but explore the mounted dvd and right-click Startup.exe and select Run with Japanese locale as administrator (you need HF pApploc for the right-click options).
- Refer to Startup.exe picture on the right: If you can click the top button it means you have to install DirectX 9.0c. Your game will not work if you ignore it!
- Click the second button from the top (ref. Startup.exe picture) to start the Immoral Ward setup setup.
- Click the button with (N) once.
- IMPORTANT: Change the destination to e.g. C:\illusion\IW. Your game will most likely not work if you forget!! (see picture on the right)
- Click (N) again a few times and wait while the game is installed.
- To run the game you need to keep the ImmoralWard.iso mounted and right-click C:\illusion\IW\インモラル病棟.exe and select Run with Japanese locale.
