Im so sorry I have i misread the disclaimer and thought it said "and close the window that just popped up" im stupid, the game worked fine after that, it was very fun :)) (also i am on windows 11 and the game worked normally when i didnt close the window)

that was it. I thought the game, in all it's meta ways, was switching to using the console as the game, but i couldn't interact, and saw the other tab had a new button to click so i closed the console, wondering if it might close the whole thing, but it didn't, so i figured there was no issue. But yep, that was it. thanks.
