Hmmm...This one's a little odd. I haven't seen cases where people have had trouble mid-game. Did you notice any garbled text when extracting in JP locale?

This was a really wonderful game. Man. Delivered on both the 'ero' and the 'horror' fronts. Thank you.

Very nice art, very pretty aesthetic, very sweet game. I wasn't quite sure what to expect going in, since it seemed a lot different from the stuff I usually go for, but I enjoyed it!  

Are you unable to leave the room with Haruki near the end of ch6, or does that flag trigger correctly but you have trouble later on?  I believe someone posted a S root save file in these comments for those who are having a lot of trouble, if it's a big issue. 

This is what's meant by extracting in Japanese locale. Set your region settings to Japanese. Also, you may need to redownload Locale Emulator if it's not working: I'm not sure what your problem on that end might be. 

Did you extract it in Japanese locale (that's a separate thing from running it in Locale Emulator)? Usually that's what causes garbled text like this. 

Hm...the only difference I can see is that I don't have 'run as administrator' checked: I assume you're already clicking on the option to run it in the start menu from the cell of empireo button, since it doesn't run on its own, but you don't 'need' to run as administrator. 

I don't actually know if that's it, but it's the only difference I see, since our folders look identical otherwise.

That's odd. Is there no difference at all when you use Locale Emulator vs not using it, or does it change some text (like the text in the menu) but not others?

Wonderful story. Thank you so much for making it. 

Could you include a screenshot of what happens?

Thank you so much for this. It's wonderful.

I liked this game quite a bit. Thank you for making it and uploading it. 

No problem! Hermit's Room won't unlock if you don't have a completed DLC file, though, to be clear. It's part of the base game CoE download, but it's hidden even when you clear S+.

I mentioned this in the description, but the reason you need a file that's cleared the DLC to unlock Hermit's Room is that it's the intended play order. There's context for Hermit's Room in the DLC.

I'm not sure if this is the problem you're having, but, when playing the game, do your text boxes look like this? 

If so, you may need to download Locale Emulator from here and open the game in it.

 (different from changing your locale/you don't need to extract or redownload all over again), as Japanese text tends to end up garbled if not opened in Locale Emulator, and the password entry form is the only instance of Japanese text being displayed in the game. 

Let me know if that doesn't work, and send me a screenshot of your game if possible. 

If it's the ch7 puzzle, here's a puzzle hint that doesn't directly give you the answer! https://dreamofarcadia.dreamwidth.org/6954.html
