Since I don't use a joystick, I know you need to unplug controller to play, but since I am not savvy with the joystick/controller stuff, and I am on Windows 10, can someone care to shed some light as how to play this game? I am not using a controller, only Razer Naga Hex V2 and SteelSeries Apex M500. Been stuck on the NOCE title, tried disabling the [HID game controller] in the [Devices] > [Bluetooth & other devices] and still stuck at the screen. Been changing [Time & Language] > [Region & Language] to Japanese, Restart PC, pressing all keys, tried Full Screen and mini, but still nadda. Now don't tell me the game folder itself is the problem or I'm going to... stuff.
Even some RPG Maker games got arrow keys stuck sometimes on Windows 10 due to bluetooth-related stuff, but this one may as well be completely unrelated to that. Weird thing is, even after turning off or update bluetooth does not necessarily solved the problem.
P.S.: Goodness Gracious, for the love of... Okay, so it was so simple... On game startup, All you had to do is press [Ctrl] + [Y], then on the Five-by-Four square, tick the bottom box for Column 1, then you can just proceed with the game using keyboard, with or without your schdichk plug in to the port potty.
