I can't seem to download the android version (apk). The download starts and completes, but the file downloaded is NOT an apk. It's simply listed on my phone as unrecognizable file.

This is a strange problem, and I can't reproduce the same effect on my devices. 

After downloading I receive a file called orrias.apk which my device places at "/storage /emulated/0/download/" (the default downloads folder)  Then I can run the APK and it installs, after the Play store scans it.

I have asked in the discord server for anyone else who has downloaded this month's Android version, to see if anyone else has an Android device that this is not working on. Have you had this problem with any other Android APK files on itch.io?

Edit: there may be a setting on your device that you have to enable or disable in order to use apps outside of the Play store. The link below has a section explaining where you might find that setting.

Also this one, just ignore the stuff about expressvpn.

I have a problem like that on my old phone once and the problem is mainly because you either did not finished the download, playprotect is preventing you from completely finishing your download, or in some cases, an antivirus app is preventing you from downloading from malicious website. ;3
