I need help!
The game APK downloaded goes through the installation and then ultimately says App not installed... Please help
Hi there!
I'm not a professional in IT, but I can certainly try! Is this a problem you've had only with this game or any APKs you've downloaded through itch.io?
If it's the latter, the problem may be with your permissions regarding third party apps. Essentially, a security feature of your phone makes it, by default, prevent any apps from a source that Samsung does not recognize, including Itch.io. To allow your install to proceed, you need to go into your settings => Apps. Then from that screen, at the top right, select the menu and choose "Special Access". Then from the list, select Install Unknown Apps. You can then select the browser from where you downloaded the APK, download the app again, and it should install :)
If that doesn't work or if you've never had an issue with APKs from itch.io before, let me know! I'm not sure how I could fix it, because i just tested out the download on my phone and it works fine, but maybe I can find something else.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply.
I actually played a few games downloaded from this site, so I think that's not the problem.
Could my phone be the problem, cuz my phone is relatively low end...
Ram-3gb
CPU: Helio G70 processor
Android:10
GPU: Mali G52
Plus how much space does this game require after installation... Maybe that's the problem (cuz the "Installation window thingy" doesn't say anything besides app not installed so there isn't much to else to go about).
Of course ^^
Hmm, could be but you said you've played other games, and Ren'py (the engine used) is not that demanding... it is a 1080p resolution though, so maybe that's pushing the limits? I'm not quite sure I'm afraid...
Checking on my phone, the size is 480 Mb after installation. It's got a sizable collection of music, so maybe that could be it?
Otherwise, I'm honestly not sure =S I'm sorry, I wish I could be of better help...
