If you extracted the folder with everything in it Remember.EXE should work but if you take Remember.EXE out of the folder and then try to play it the game won't work because it needs the dll files with it to work.
You should download this game from other places like Game Jolt and Internet Archive to see if the game will work for you. If you're using a virtual machine the game might not work in it but if you're not using a virtual machine I'm not too sure why the game isn't working for you.
Simply put, it will go past the access violation, but then claim an APPCRASH. I got directx 9, i got rid of nvidia, i closed discord, i used a VM, and none of this worked.
Also when I click on link.exe it automatically says "no" and nothing else.
