Sorry about the trouble!

If you could, then perhaps you could also for the log files?

They're under this path:

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Placeholder Gameworks\Death and Taxes\

They're called Player.log and Player-prev.log.

Just send them to me to oak@deathandtaxesgame.com

If you have the Windows 10 N version, then you most likely need to install the Windows Media Foundation pack.

You can download it here! https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack

Let me know if you can find the logs and how the update pack works (if at all) :)

hey I'm having this problem too - bought off bundle, played up until day 5 and enjoyed it, but then I put it down and now I have the same blurry splash screen and a Unity error window opens before it crashes. There's no Windows Media Foundation pack for my version of Windows - how am I meant to get past this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesn't seem to work

There may have been a catastrophic error with the savegame. Luckily we save backups for this case :)

You can find the backups here:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Placeholder Gameworks\Death and Taxes\Saves

You can choose an earlier day save, rename it to Save.RIP and then overwrite the Save.RIP (or delete the old one beforehand) in the path %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Placeholder Gameworks\Death and Taxes\Saves

To open the folder conveniently you can just copy and paste that path into your Run app (Windows Key + R shortcut or type Run into the Windows search bar).

Let me know if this helps!
