Playing the Game After EoS
Installing the Game
Currently, all methods install the offline version of the game, which has significantly reduced features. You can read the story, do some limited combat activities, view and modify the room, and view character models, but not much else.
The Official Method
As of November 5th 2024, the servers for the game are no longer available.
The Less Official Method
If you have access to an Android environment with root privileges available, you can install the game without ever contacting the official servers. You'll need to download this zip file (10GB) containing the game data (File archived by Feathersnek). Install the app either from Google Play or from an APK mirror of your choice, such as this one. The APK for the final version of the game comes packaged in a way where you must select the correct version for your phone or emulator. Place the contents of the zip file (the folder named files
into /data/data/com.bandainamcoent.torays/
. You should now be able to launch the game. If you are unhappy with the included savefile, please see below on how to modify it to your liking.
I suspect Apple devices are able to do this via similar means. V has provided the files for an iOS install here. I have very little experience with iOS devices so I'm not sure how to install apps from places other than the app store, but V has also kindly provided the IPA file for 7.0.1.
Backing Up and Modifying Save Data
Save data is stored in /data/data/com.bandainamcoent.torays/files/offlinedata
. Even if you do not plan to modify this data, if you have your official savefile, I suggest backing it up and keeping it safe so that you have the option to restore it if your install is ever rendered unusable. There's no attempts to confirm the integrity of this data, so if you have the game on a device or emulator where this location is accessible, you can freely backup, restore, and edit these files.
This section is currently a work in progress, but while it is, I'd like to link you to this modding guide written by V. If you need or want further information, this Discord is dedicated to modding, preservation, and private server efforts. I'd like to provide more of this information directly on this site, and plan to, but in the meantime I want to make sure these links are available.
