Hey, I would love to play your game! However, every time I try to open it, I get greeted with a black screen and a crosshair cursor but can't do anything. Know any way to fix this?

Hey! thanks for trying it out ! Are you on Windows / macOS / Linux, and which build did you download?
Some quick things could try:
-
Make sure it’s fully unzipped, and run it from inside the extracted folder (don’t move the .exe out by itself).
-
If you’re on Windows: try Alt+Enter (toggle fullscreen/windowed) and press Esc once (might able to fix if stuck at the first frame which looks like a black screen)
-
If it still stays black, it might be a Vulkan/driver issue. If you’re ok with one command test on Windows, open CMD in the game folder and run: dr_strange.exe --rendering-driver opengl3
Let me know your platform (and GPU if you know it) and I can narrow it down further too! thank you so much!!
Weirdly enough, I just tried to open it again and it actually worked! I'm not sure what was causing it to bug out before. Anyway, I rated yours. Would love if you could check out mine: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-15/rate/4293999
