I extracted! And i turned off my pc’s antivirus feature ages ago :( it just wouldnt open no matter how many times i kept clicking the application
Ok so we investigated a bit on the itchio forums and found some users with your same problem when running other games. For some of them this issue was fixed automatically after a while for unkown reasons, but for one of them, it was fixed by keeping the game folders on their PC's desktop and running the game from there.
Aside from that, we can't think of any other reason for the game to not run properly ☹️ Hope this helps!
