I installed this game using the itch.io app and it installed the Neon 1.3.1 version... however when I hit launch MS Windows (10) says I need to download an app from the Microsoft Store to use the "itch-cave" link but the window is greyed out and the game is frozen in the background on a white screen in a window... I can confirm everything seems to work if I browse to the install directory and run it from there but that kinda' defeats the purpose of the all in one handy itch.io app! ;)

Thank you for what seems so far an interesting game :)

P.S. Yes, working around the problem as above does indeed break saves for me...

If you go to your Library in the itch.io app and right click on the icon for a game you can then choose to open the directory in explorer, this is the "install directory", once there you can double-click the game but it will be run as your account on the machine, not the itch one so you loose some protections from viruses, trojans and scams (you should turn on sandboxing mode in settings if you want even more protection) as well as it often changing the save location or breaking saves entirely... it is also just longer than using the app's "launch" button so not ideal!
