It might be an issue that you have missing redistributables which are needed to run the game.

You can try downloading these files and running the game again

Microsoft Direct X (June 2010) : https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=8109
Visual Studio c++ redistributables : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
- Make sure you download the latest version (Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022)
- Download the x64 if your computer is 64-bit and the x86 if your Windows is 32-bit

I bought the game on steam and it hasn't worked on my windows 11 pc. I tried doing what you said up here but it didn't fix it. I refunded the game on steam and bought it on Itch but it still doesn't open.

There's no error message, you just double click on the game and it doesn't do anything?
If you go to the installation folder (where the executable is), do you have a log/crash file that you could show me? It's usually under [GameFolder]\MOTHER\Saved\Crashes

Also, make sure your antivirus isn't blocking the game from launching.

It does nothing and there's no folder tiled Saved. In the MOTHER folder is only has Binaries and Content.

What's strange is that it works on my main computer that also has Windows 11 but not my laptop where I want to play the game on. Want to talk more on twitter DM's so we can figure it out?
