Sure!

You could try the to extract whole folder (have you extracted the game folder or just the .exe file?).

If it's not the case, it may be your antivirus stopping you from executing the game. You could try to set up the permissions in your antivirus so the game isn't treated as a virus.

Alright, I'll try that! Thank you.

Quick Question, could you give me a few instructions on how to do that? Because i'm a little confused.

It seems we found a problem similar of yours here: https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=26509#p324743

Try to redownload it, it may work.

Alright, i'll try.

Could you specify what you mean by re-download, because I've gotten rid of the file, then got it back again but the same thing keeps happening.

Mesange Arts3 years ago

Ah it's a shame. We will investigate your problem and will share you solution at a later date!

Alright, thank you.

Hi Sakura! We posted a new demo build, maybe you can try to install it again! You can install it though the Itch app, or use the Windows installer if you have issue with the game. Hoping it will work!

I've ran into a similar issue with Sakura. In my case, the .exe was tripping up Malwarebytes' heuristic and got quarantined, hence it was reported 'missing' by the OS. (It also tripped up another antivirus by apparently "trying to access the registry". This makes me more concerned than Malwarebytes' heuristic, tbh.) Maybe something similar happened here?

You need to open your antivirus softwares and make an exception for the ValentyneStoriesNecromancy.exe file so it won't be quarantined and deleted by your antivirus. It happens quite often for new games since VSN (and a lot of other similar games) are still a "new program" for Windows, and isn't recognized yet as a "safe" program. Do not worry, there isn't any malware in the game !

I already did that and really enjoyed the demo! Thank you for the reply. <3 Sorry if that comment sounded overly paranoid, I did some research later and found out that it's a super common issue with Ren'Py games.
