the cutscene at the beginning worked just fine and then after it was over the background appeared with no text box or anything on the screen. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated because I wanna play this gam

I had the same problem! Try downloading this locale emulator --> https://pooi.moe/Locale-Emulator/ and then running it in japanese as an administrator. I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you but it did for me so I hope this helps. Sorry for being three months late to your question too.

Changing your locale is quite simple actually. You don’t need any emulators (the guy’s one above didn’t work for me, and seemed to have the trojan virus? [MEGA]) but follow these steps and you’re good.

(FOR Windows, if its not on them then search the web on “how to change SYSTEM locale {your pc type}”)

[https://www.java.com/en/download/help/locale.html]< link for steps on windows 7,8,10, Vista and XP 

[guide provided should cover those (W 10, XP, etc) all but wording may vary a bit]

1. Go to your control panel

2. Click on “Clock and Regions”

3.Click on “Regions”

4. In “Regions” Click the administrative button (Should be on top) 

5. Change system locale to Japan (you might be required to restart) 

——————————————

[Extra steps I did that may also be required]

6. Change the format to Japanese 

7. Go to “Date and Time” and set to Japanese (in “Clock and Regions”)

8. Play the game :) Hopefully this helps!
