  • Windows may ask first. New releases can show "Windows protected your PC" until enough people have installed them. That means "not seen often yet", not "harmful". Choose More info, check the publisher reads Jeremy cabaccang, then choose Run anyway.
  • Installs just for you. No administrator access, about 400 MB in your user folder. Remove it any time from Settings → Apps (listed as DW Online).
  • What goes online. Your account, your progress and your game save (a snapshot of the game as you left it) are kept on our server, so you can carry on from any device. Your disc stays on your PC. Privacy
