[This is an up-to-date guide to playing on the Chinese Server and how to download the game] :
This is a 3 part guide for inexperienced people who want to play this game
Notes:
The Chinese Server is the only version/server you can connect to. The English version of the game isn't finished yet (that I know of).
Here is a link to another guide that contains information you'll find useful as soon as you know for sure you can actually play the game: Link
1.) Signing Up
Notes:
Creating An Account:
Creating an account is most likely not going to be the way you think it is. It is extremely simple (as long as they don't change it).
Chinese Server Website: Link
A. First you go to the Chinese Website so you can create an account.
B. The button on the left is the "Submit/Sign-Up" button. Type in a username and a password(Numbers only) and then click the left box. There is no email required or verification process.
C. When you click the submit button You'll get 1 of 2 possible messages.
D. After clicking "submit" you'll be redirected to a page (this is the one you want to see) it means your account was successfully created.
After you've seen this message your account is created and there's nothing left to do account-wise.
2.) Installation
Downloading, Installing, and the English Patch:
Game Download Link: Download Page
Part 1
A. First you need to double-click the file with the Chinese Lettering and then click "download" in the top right corner. You'll get a warning because the game is 1GB so it can't be scanned for viruses but it's no cause for concern (I've downloaded it) there are no viruses.
(Then click the download button in the top right corner)
(You'll see Chinese letters instead of English "真女神转生OL豪华妹子版客户端")
B. Next you need to find where your download is and extract the files (you will most likely find it in your Downloads folder).
C. It doesn't really matter to me where the files are extracted to; but I would recommend letting your computer do what it'll do automagically which is create a folder for you. You just have to click "OK".
Wherever you or your computer put the game folder; find it and keep track of where it is because you'll be visiting it often.
Most likely found C:>Users>"username">Downloads>真女神转生OL豪华妹子版客户端>真女神转生OL豪华妹子版客户端
D. Now find the folder that will be named "真女神转生OL豪华妹子版客户端" unless you named it yourself. Open the folder and leave it open because you're about to edit one of the files/folders in there.
E. Create a new folder anywhere on your computer except inside the game's folder and name it "ChineseBinaryDataBackup" or whatever name you wish to use. I just named mine that way for convenience.
F. Now copy the folder named "BinaryData" that's inside the game's folder I told you to leave open. And paste it into the backup folder you just created.
Part 2 (You can skip Part 2 but I don't know if it'll produce the same results (your game may be glitchy) so I'm leaving the extra step in the guide so I don't advise skipping this part.)
Now you need the English translation of the game so you can read most of the words in the game and you won't have to do any guess work (some stuff will still be in Chinese but this can't be helped and shouldn't bother you too much).
A. First click the link that will take you to the English Patch provided by the Chinese Website.
Chinese Website English Patch(English Version 1): Link
B. Now you click one of the options (I chose google it's just a matter of preference).
(Then click the download button in the top right corner)
C. Now you need to extract files the same way as before but instead you'll be doing this to a file named "BinaryData" (This is English Version 1).
(Let the computer name it and everything again)
D. Now copy the folder inside the folder named "BinaryData". (BinaryData folder inside the BinaryData folder)
E. And you're going to paste and replace the "BinaryData"(Chinese) folder in the game's folder with the "BinaryData"(English Version 1) folder you just downloaded.
(Click the Replace Everything/Overwrite Option when it appears)
Part 3
Now you're going to do the same thing again but with a different BinaryData download(English Version 2). This may seem pointless but it actually fixes a few glitches that I ran into. Like multiple instances of combat music playing all at the same time even when you leave battle (the music continues on repeat but this added step gets rid of that glitch). You can skip downloading the English Patch from the Chinese Website but I don't know if it'll produce the same results so I'm leaving the extra step in the guide.
A. You're going to go to the same place where you downloaded the game
BinaryData(English Version 2) Download Page: Link
B. Double-click the file that says "BinaryData.7z"(English Version 2) (Once downloaded to your computer it will most likely show up as "BinaryData(1)" in the "Downloads" folder).
(and hit the Download button in the top right corner)
C. Now you're going to do the same thing again. Extract the files to it's own folder (it will likely name itself "BinaryData(1).7z" but you can name it something else if that helps you).
D. Now go into the folder you just made and copy the "BinaryData"(English Version 2) folder inside just like last time.
E. And paste the new "BinaryData"(English Version 2) folder into the game's folder replacing the previous "BinaryData"(English Version 1) folder.
F. Once again replace/overwrite everything.
After that you're done with downloading and installing.
Important Notes:
Glitches
And Fixes:
Note: I am using the Chinese Game Download as explained above. And I play in windowed mode at max resolution.
My PC: Windows 10/Nvidia GTX960/AMD FX-8320/Not running in any Compatibility Mode/
Music Overlapping Glitch(Fixed): I deleted the BinaryData and replaced it with the files from the Chinese Site's English Patch (I chose the google link).
Then I downloaded the BinaryData(English Version 2) from HERE and replaced the BinaryData(English Version 1) again with the BinaryData(English Version 2) files from the link.
I don't know why or how it fixed the music problem but it did.
Game Crashing On Start-Up(Fixed): Go into the game's folder and double-click the file named "ImagineOption" and change the settings to launch the game in "Windowed Mode" at whatever resolution fits you best. Some people aren't able to run the game in "Fullscreen Mode" without the game crashing (idk why). If that doesn't fix it the Game Download or English Patches(BinaryData) may have become corrupted when attempting to download them; you can try re-downloading the English Patches(BinaryData) first and if that doesn't work try restarting the download process entirely by deleting everything and downloading it again. Beginning at "Step 2" and try especially hard to make sure you download and install everything properly. If that doesn't work maybe try restarting your computer. If none of that works then I'm at a loss.
NPC wrong avatars(Not Fixed): Not fixed yet. Still seeing Guards that look like players dressed as the Nekomata Demon (I assume it's a glitch but maybe it's not)
Lag: I am only experiencing minor issues with lag. If that changes I'll look for something to help (Keep in mind it IS a server in China. Your connection is going to be a tad spotty sometimes).
Demons Not Spawning Where They Should Be(Fixed): Go to the bottom right corner of your game and click on "select character" then re-connect to the game. If the problem persists restart your game.
NPC Inside Another NPC: No idea how to fix it and I'm not sure it's actually unintentional.
Can't click NPC(Fixed): First try to click on their head specifically and if the + sign in a circle doesn't show up then go to the bottom right corner of your game and click on "select character" then re-connect to the game.
If there's any suggestions or things you think I should know just message me or leave a reply.

This is a 3 part guide for inexperienced people who want to play this game
Notes:
- This version of the game is outdated (but it's the only available option at the moment until the English Server is finished). This version of the game does not have all of the content you may be used to.
- Results may vary depending on your computer setup and how you download the game.
- If there's anything I didn't cover let me know and I'll add what I can.
- If there's already a guide that has all the info in this thread I did not see it and I apologize if I'm just cluttering up the forum.
- This is a very in-depth guide for anyone who has no experience installing games this way.
The Chinese Server is the only version/server you can connect to. The English version of the game isn't finished yet (that I know of).
Here is a link to another guide that contains information you'll find useful as soon as you know for sure you can actually play the game: Link
1.) Signing Up
Notes:
- When you sign up it's very important that your password is only made up of numbers otherwise you won't be able to log into the game. I did the same for my username just to be safe and I haven't experienced any issues signing in (I recommend using at least 8 numbers in your password and for the love of god don't make your password 12345678).
Creating An Account:
Creating an account is most likely not going to be the way you think it is. It is extremely simple (as long as they don't change it).

Important Notes:
- You double-click the client file/application "ImagineClient" found in the "真女神转生OL豪华妹子版客户端" game folder. That's how you're going to start the game from now on. You can make a shortcut for this file if you want to(otherwise you'll have to find the game's folder again and find the client file and start the game that way every time you want to play).
- If you're game crashes on start-up you need to go into the game's folder and double-click the file named "ImagineOption" and change the settings to launch the game in "Windowed Mode" at whatever resolution fits you best. Some people aren't able to run the game in "Fullscreen Mode" without the game crashing (idk why).
