instead of running the installer unpack the file like a zip.
can you please explain or give some kind of walkthru for how to actually do this though? seeing no options from the menu when right-clicking the exe file. would help a lot since you seem to know what you're doing. personally, i've never in my 20 years of using computers, or gaming on pc, had an exe file that i had to "unpack" versus the thousands of archive files which had exe files in them ready to run as soon as extracting the contents. it's super weird to me.
How to extract content of .exe file using Winrar? : r/howto so... basically it's impossible with normal software and actually poses high risk to do something like this, as stated in various replies on this post. like giving viruses and malware. something really fishy seems to be going on. why has no one brought this up though? like, everyone seems able to play the game just fine, even getting very far, making complaints and such about the game, but how did they even access the game to begin with? aside from the mobile version i mean. just super super weird and suspicious. is this meant to prey on "freeloaders"? i'm definitely not ever going to try to straight up extract anything out of an exe file without a virtual machine; something i don't have the energy or tech-knowhow to even go through the intensive or non-intensive (irdk bruh) of setting up. just no.
to answer the questions ive had on this post, I use 7zip for all of my unpacking for VNs and anything else I need to unpack. I had a lot of trouble getting the game to function correctly at first, but when i treated the file I downloaded as a zip file and used my unpacking software (7zip) the new file that came out worked fine. I dont understand why it worked, i dont understand why the files are the way they are. My experience with the game following these steps wasnt even worth the trouble so do whatever you want with this info.
Got it. Thanks for sharing this valuable information homie! I wish they were more transparent about this and gave actual detailed instructions for how to open the game if they weren't going to have the shit ready to go upon downloading. The game looked awesome too, but I mean.. I have a dozen of great fap games, many with great well-written characters and stories (Like Eternum), with zero AI involved as well. many of which i've been putting off due to being busy and it being too hot to game on my pc for long periods of time this summer or "work up a sweat" especially, without the ac blasting literally all day long, as "pc heat up cave". Just trying to complete my library with games that pique my interest, so that when i do get back into the ero-gaming fully, I have the full selection to choose from. But yeah, until they make some changes, like those you, I, and others mentioned.. especially the actual gameplay criticisms, I'm gonna drop this one. You can't please everyone. i get that. but meh. like you said, more trouble than it's worth. like fucking WHY bruh?? Why release it like this? I'm especially gonna withhold my money until I see significant improvements, too.
