Hi there. I just want to give a heads up regarding support of the Steam release of Clover Day's Plus: It's the same engine as previous NekoNyan ports. The encryption mechanism is the same as the one in Aokana/Senren Banka Switch, Parquet Android. You'll be able to unpack the .dat files by passing "portable" to the format argument of the tool, for example: NekoNyanDatTool.exe --input "C:\Install Folder\Clover Days Plus_Data\StreamingAssets\adult.dat" --output outputFolder --unpack --format portable (Beginning of rant) Once again the assets are needlessly encrypted, killing any compression opportunities for the download size and making Steam waste its time trying to compress what's there to the benefit of absolutely no one and detriment of everyone. But at least it's the same stupid system so you guys can use keep using the same tool. Also using il2cpp for the very needed maximum performance on a glorified image viewer with overlay text, where all of the code that had a chance of putting a load on the CPU (namely Emote) would have already been on native libraries anyways, with the usual Unity bloat that will make even the biggest CPU caches scream and run in fear, which no native compiler will ever fix. I hope next time they exclude the Augmented Reality, Web Cam, and Android modules from the Windows build of a Visual Novel (and this is assuming that Unity provides that capability, you'd assume considering how widely used the engine is... I'd be slightly surprised and disappointed if that's not a thing EDIT: okay it is a feature: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-ui-disable.html). I pray that they don't change the "encryption" format, not because it'll be hard, it'll just be even more bothersome because of native code shenanigans, which is just a waste of everyone's time.

EDIT: No offense to OP, but I would prefer if people used my own link for downloading the game. I can't vouch for how up to date or secure other links might be. Hello, hello, made an account just for this lol. To clarify I'm the guy that made the patch. Always glad to see people spread the word about this work. Extremely niche, yet likely one of the most important VNs of all time. Without Bakehouse chances are the larger Chinese Gacha industry wouldn't exist in the first place, so even if it's niche, the ripples left by its impact are honestly immeasurable and still felt in the industry today. I could go off for days about this, but to spare this forum of my random presence, here's an article I wrote summarizing the history of MICA Team, the developers of this VN. After the patch I also grabbed an artist and started working on a Ren'Py remaster that also reimagines the three other stories surrounding Girl of the Bakehouse that never actually released. Development's really slow right now, because both of us are lacking resources, but you can find all the details here. If y'all have any questions feel free to let me know!
