Windows 10
When I unzip the full game (downloaded from itch.io), almost everything extracts. What doesn't extract is the executable.
The executable is in the zipped archive. I can see it in the decompression program (which is also a compression program), it just… won't extract — even when specifically telling it to only extract the executable.

This is very much something on my end, and it happens regularly, unfortunately. Downloading, extracting, renaming, or moving\copying from one directory to another (the worst offender, as if you're copying it will erase both files).  Windows 10 just decides to unexist files without warning, giving a reason, nor my consent. It's extremely bothersome.
If you know any way to make it stop doing that, I'd be very greatful. And I tried disabling the firewalls, anti-viruses, and Windows Defender, for this game and several times with past files — it was only successful once, and it wasn't this time.

Apparently installing it via itch desktop client, then moving it worked…
Which is very… stange, as that normally results in it being deleted…
… And I'm able to run it now… which, again, normally does not happen…

So… if you know why I can't extract it, let me know… I'm very, very confused…

Probably antivirus false-flagging the EXE.

Again, installing through the itch desktop client worked.

It's the exact same file… it should behaved the same… But it doesn't.
