Before you install any Japanese program, including Visual Novels, you need to set your non-unicode default settings to Japanese. This means that when your computer can’t recognize the input, it defaults to a language. Most of the time the factory default is English. To change this, go to your Regional settings in your Control Panel.
Go to the Administrative Tab and click “Change System Locale”. Find Japan/Japanese in the drop down menu and select it.
Hit “Apply” and you’re ready to move forward.
Now, assuming you don’t have the actual game imported from Japan, you’ll have to find the fan translated English patch.

If you’re downloading the game, make sure you have all the parts fully downloaded before you extract them. You will need winrar or winzip. Once you have all the files, right click the first part and choose “Extract here”. It should automatically be linked with the other parts so it will produce one folder called DRAMAtical Murder
When you go into the folder there will be a file just labeled “DMMd”. In order to run this file you will need a mounting software. A mounting software basically tricks your computer into thinking there’s a physical drive being loaded, when in actuality it’s a virtual drive. I recommend Virtual CloneDrive http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html
After you’ve installed VCD, right click on “DMMd” and select “Mount”. A window should appear asking if you want to run the disk/setup. Choose the setup.exe and follow the instructions on screen. It may appear to be boxes or question marks instead of characters. That’s fine too, just use common sense, Japanese setup programs are exactly the same as English ones. For example, you may see a button that has <N>. This basically means Next. So just follow through, besides the options are highlighted in blue, so it really shouldn’t be too hard.
Once you’re all done with that, you’ll need the English patch. Return to the DRAMAtical Murder link above and download the English patch. This will also come in a zip file you need to extract. Right click and choose “extract here”. There should be two folders that extracted called “Patches” and “Video”. Copy the contents from “Patches” and paste it into
C://Progam Files (x86) > Nitroplus CHiRAL > DRAMAtical Murder
Copy the files from “Video” and paste it into
C://Progam Files (x86) > Nitroplus CHiRAL > DRAMAtical Murder > dx
Go back to where you downloaded everything. There should be two .zip files named DMMd Update and DMMd Crack. FIRST you must extract the DMMd Update file. Within the new folder there will be three files. Copy and paste them into
C://Progam Files (x86) > Nitroplus CHiRAL > DRAMAtical Murder
If it asks if you want to replace the existing files, click “yes”.
SECOND you must extract the DMMd Crack file. When you do a new folder should appear and in it will be the .exe crack. Take this file and put it with everything else in C://Progam Files (x86) > Nitroplus CHiRAL > DRAMAtical Murder
Now hopefully if you double click the crack.exe, DRAMAtical Murder will load up in English. To make it easier, right click and select “Send to Desktop” to make an icon you can access.
Congratulations you can now f*ck the dog.
