For those of us on Linux, the Windows version of this game runs quite well with rpgmaker-linux. Just unzip it and run it with e.g.
rpgmaker-linux --gamepath /home/you/Clinical\ Trial/
Tested on Debian 12 with GNOME. The same Debian 12 running Sway WM did not work.
Thanks again, Mr. Homie, for this exceptional short story. I haven’t felt such a chill in ages.
