Thank you, kindly!
I'm sorry you're having trouble. Can you tell me what your desktop operating system is? Without knowing anything, my usual suggestions are:
- Delete all game files and then reinstall them from our game page, in the event your files were somehow corrupted upon execution.
- If you are getting a warning pop-up from your system that mentions a "virus" or "potentially unwanted software", Ren'Py games can sometimes trigger this, so try right-clicking the game application and running as an administrator.
- If neither of the above work or are applicable, downloading/launching the game instead through the Itch app (https://itch.io/app), which executes files in its virtual sandbox tends to solve this problem every time I encounter this with other games.
I hope these help! For the foreseeable future, we will not have the desktop browser version of the game. Ren'Py web builds have been in an experimental beta for several years now, and screen modes and responsiveness in the updated game created errors that we are not capable of fixing at this time. So for now, in the interest of quality, we are only offering the desktop app builds. When Ren'Py improves their web build, or should we find a safe and alternate solution, we may see about revisiting the desktop browser option. Very sorry for the inconvenience!
I'm sorry these solutions weren't right for you. But in asking, you've drawn my attention to the fact that I may need to make a note on the game page about minimum system requirements and installation instructions. Maybe it's a graphics driver issue at its heart, but I'm unsure. MSR may make that more clear to you if you would need to—and can—update.
My only other suggestion for now is... have a friend stream it with you, lol. I know it's not the same as having personal, private access to it anytime, but for a free game, it's a nice experience to share with someone else too, I hope!
Wishing you the best, and thank you for bringing your concern to me.
