I don't know if you will see this (dev) but whenever I try to play this game it opens up for a split second showing a black screen and then closes. I don't know if anyone else is having the problem but I also tried to install it in the itch.io app and it won't let me install and says at the bottom, 'no compatible downloads were found'.

It's strange because I'm using Windows 10, drivers for my 4080 Super are up to date etc and I can't recall having a problem like this with Itch.io games. It's a shame because this game looks so good! Just wanted to pass this a long incase maybe there's something you find moving forward. Thank you. :)

Hey,
Just a quick note: the itch client can’t download and launch unclaimable games with 100% discount. In this case, you’ll need to download the game directly through your browser instead of using the itch.io app.

Regarding the issue you’re experiencing, could you please check if there’s a file named save_game2.dat in the following folder?

%appdata%/Godot/app_userdata/cherophobia

Press Win + R and type %appdata%, then press Enter.
Navigate to Godot/app_userdata/cherophobia and look for save_game2.dat.

Also, it would really help us debug this further if you could run the game from the command line and share the debug logs. just drag and drop the game exe in cmd and run it from there. Thanks for reaching out and your patience.

Hey, thank you for getting back to me I really appreciate it. After following your instructions there is no save_game2.dat in the Cherophobia folder. The only folder that is shown is a 'logs' folder.

As for the second part, attached is a picture of what happened when I ran it in CMD. There wasn't much but this is what there was. Thanks for your time.

So there are no errors in the command line and then it just closes? That’s strange.

Could you please try downloading this save file and placing it in %appdata%/Godot/app_userdata/cherophobia?

Thanks for getting back to me. No errors unfortunately which I wish would be the case. It would certainly narrow things down more.

I downloaded the save file and put it in the instructed folder but alas it is still giving me the black screen and instantly closing. I honestly thought that would work. It is very strange indeed. I appreciate the help though I'm not sure what else to do. I might be out of luck in being able to play your game. :(
