I downloaded it on android but I don't know how to play? Is there an app I need to run it through? This is my first itchio download so I don't know what to do

I believe if I'm not mistaken, once the apk file is downloaded onto your Android device. You should be able to find a icon for the game where your recent apps download to and tapping on it will load the game up. ^^ (Within the next update or two, we'll going to update the game app/program icon so it stands out better too.)

So is it in files or the app store? I'm lost. I found its file in files but I tried every option on it and nothing happened. There isn't a way to extract the file that I know of

Sorry about my earlier message. >.< Okay, so I tried downloading it for myself and this is what my steps were. Hopefully this helps!

1. Click Download Now button on the itch page.
2. "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" click.
3. Click Download button above "Messy Academy v0.18 Android 193MB"
4. "Do you want to download android.messyacademy-18-universal-release.apk?" (For me it asked "again" cause I tried doing it once.)
5. Click Download. (It'll say downloading, along with "details" next to it.)
6. Download finishes. "android.messyacademy-18-universal-release.apk." (Open), Tap on the Open link/Button.
7. Should pop up a notification. (Messy Academy, shows Ren'py icon) "Do you want to install an update to this existing application? Your existing data will not be lost." Or "Do you want to install, etc." Tap on (Install) Button/link.
8. It will begin installing and then it'll say on the same notification popup. "App installed." (Done) or (Open) tap on the Open button/link.
9. The game should launch to the title screen, enjoy! ^^

(For later when you close out of the game app after all of this. You should be able to now find the Messy Academy app located where your other unorganized apps are located. It'll have the same Ren'py icon seen from the above process until we update said icon in the next coming updates.)

Added note! I think my first time after step 5, once it was finished. It asked me if I'd want to open the app using Malwarebytes or File/Game installer. (Which I assume is part of Android by default? I don't recall having to download anything extra like that.)

Thank you! I tried a different browser and it worked (I know I should've done that earlier but I didn't think it would change anything plus I wanted to try and keep it on duckduckgo)

what browser did you use?

Yea What browser Plz.
