is there any way to run this game without admin rights, some games on this website do, I really want to play this game but the owner of this laptop doesn't give me admin rights

I guess not yet (I was not aware this was an issue until now)

if you give some examples of games here that you can run without admin rights I'll look into how they did it

The 5th beta for Ravenfield doesn't require it, your game "lab" doesn't also require it, I really like the look of the game and its gameplay looks interesting

Thank you, i've been looking into it and so far it's caused by a sort of restriction of where programs can save files, hopefully that's all to it (still it might take a while to get it work)

(the remake (https://mutantleg.itch.io/lab-v30) or the original?)

Edit:
I have trouble reproducing it for some reason (tried standard user in Win10 and worked, tried on another pc with Win7 both standard and guest user and neither had trouble starting)
so I need a bit more info about your setup: just simple things like what version of windows you are using, if there any antivirus installed that might be the cause, is the itchi.io app is installed and has the same problems etc.

I'm pretty sure the original lab doesn't require admin rights, haven't checked out the remake though, I'm using windows 8.1, no antiviruses installed, I'll install the itch.io app later to see if it has the same problems, still thank you for your effort and feedback

I dug out my old win8.1 tablet (maybe it wasn't wasted money after all :)

and managed to reproduce the problem with the guest user

The app seems to be the workaround: I had no trouble installing the app and starting it with that one; did it work on your end?

(also I hid the old versions because the app was preferring them for some reason)

Installed the itch.io app and downloaded the game, it works, browser downloading seems limited for non-admin privileged devices

Nice! I hope you will enjoy it
