does it not work to just run the .sh file?
Viewing post in How do I get it to run on linux?
Choosing to open the .sh file pulls up a page of script, and choosing to execute the file gives me this error:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
Before loading the script.

You should just be able to run the game.
If it can't run, try downloading it using another method that isn't itch.io, such as https://gofile.io/d/nWaoiL
That error likely means you need to redownload the game. Itch.io has an issue where it corrupts downloads a lot. So redownload it via itch or the link provided.
