Hey developer, maybe I'm just stupid but I can't seem to figure out how to play on windows. I downloaded the directors cut like you recommended and unzipped the file but I can't figure out how to actually play it
Hey Hey! No worries, technology can wind up being really weird sometimes, so never feel stupid x3 I find myself baffled by tech stuff on a regular basis, haha.
It's been a while since I made this game, so I can't remember the exact file names, but on Windows, once unzipped, there should be a few files and folders. My memory sucks, but one of em should have the Unity logo and called Unity Crash Handler or something like that.
Anyways, the one you need to launch the game should just be called The Hostage I think. The thumbnail/icon should be red and black like the game page. If you right click it and look at all the properties, it probably shows it's name as something like "The Hostage.exe", but I couldn't say for sure >.<
If there's nothing like that to double click on after unzipping, then I guess something must have borked during the unzip :( I don't really know what would cause that to happen though >.<
I'm not a suuuuper techy person myself, haha. I just taught myself the things I need to know to make my games work, but beyond that, I'm not great with it. I can't even figure out how to make my games work on mobile >.< all my ports for Android don't work despite following tutorials.
But yeah, Windows is the one system my stuff should work on cos that's what I use to make em + what I test em on :3 We've got a family potato laptop that I use to do extra tests too cos it helps a bit for optimisation issues that I might not notice on my PC.
But yeah, technology can be strange sometimes, and everyone's computers are different, so troubleshooting can be hard even on Windows T_T haha.
I'm so sorry if what I said isn't of any help >.< Thanks for your interest in the game though! :3 Hope you have a good weekend!!
