I did it in "Windows Defender" on my Windows 11 PC.
Another quick thing to try is to simply turn off internet and Windows Defender and see if the game runs :)
It is not - it's a build straight from unreal engine. There are unfortunatly problems like the aforementioned chrashing, asking for network connectivity even if there is no online functionality, and the game starting for some users in VR mode when a headset is connected. It's more due to me not having any idea how to properly package a game back when i made it, it was my first one after all. But i hope to have all those things and more fixed in the remake i'm working at the moment
i did the thing (i think ;w;) and it lasted long like 90 i got through the first few bits of dialogue but it crashed again Dx
