Watched the stream of Emmy trying it out, and though the intro cutscenes runs, due to the complexity of the player object, folks will almost certainly need Zeta to reliably emulate this as the player controls break in other emulators! Sorry!
I'm so terribly sorry I didn't get the chance to give this (or any of the games) as much dedicated attention as it/they deserved on stream. I was completely enamoured regardless, and so were many members of my community, which says a great deal! I'm absolutely going back to this, armed with Zeta, and giving it the loving attention it's entitled to.
Hi Emmy! No worries! I plan to stream your game next Saturday -- having fun experiencing the other dos games!
So, someone ran into a bug on the zeta downloadable when you reach a certain part, the game breaks. That doesn't happen on the web zeta build. I have a fix for the issue, but I can't upload it because I submitted my game to another jam that locked the binaries while they review it, I might upload that fix elsewhere, but in the meantime, my recommendation is to play the web version. It is running a wasm build of zeta, so is still a dos emulation, I swear! :)
I couldn’t get the DOS binary version to work well (it would complain about missing files and hang in the character menu), but I played it online, and ended up perhaps playing a bit more than I would admit! The rock grinding really takes you in. 😆
Spoilers
I found the nonexisting cheese! But not before managing to freeze the game after I visited the robot a second time. The robot would just say good luck and then it would hang.

Amazing! I'll check out the bugs you detailed. Thanks for the playthrough :)
