Why can't I play this game? I already extracted the file and it came out with 2 Application type data. idk which one I should open so I opened the first one (Name: Influencing, Type: Application, Compressed size: 45kb) but it says that my computer is missing a data called api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll . The same notification also says the same when I tried the other Influencing Application type of file (Name:Influencing, Type: Application, Compressed size: 40kb). This also has happened with the previous version of this game v0.1.7 plz help me, I've always wanted to play this game!!!

Hello! I'm here to help you! :)

What OS are you using? Windows? Android? Which version?

Windows and I've downloaded the Influencing-0.1.8-pc.zip file

Ok! I've made some research...
This issue (missing api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll) can occur when the computer system becomes overloaded or important program files disappear, are accidentally deleted or get corrupted. These types of defects can occur on computers that do not undergo regular maintenance, which can lead to critical failures and system malfunctions. It may be possible to resolve DLL issues with special software that repairs system elements and adjusts system settings to restore stability.
This is what I found... I don't know how the maintenance of your PC is going. But let me ask you. Are you having the same issue when you try to play other Ren'py games? 

I guess? I've played many games before so I don't really remember it but yeah, I think so.

So... It says that windows is missing some file that enable the game to run. I would try to do maintenance on the computer to make sure everything is in order.

But how? idk about my pc lol

Man... Maybe you need to format your computer. It's hard to say without knowing your computer. But for sure, some important file is missing.
