Hello ! melancholy marionette I really need your help! I recently downloaded the game to play it on my pc but I don't know how to run it and the internal of my pc started to fill up and I really don't know what to do ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇωஇﾟ)ﾟ｡
Hey hey! Sorry if this is too late to help, I don't tend to go on my PC at weekends >.< I'm hoping you managed to get it working by now, but if not I can try to help, though, I don't know much help I can be because this project is really old and some people's computers seem to have problems opening it :(
If you're on Mac, I probably can't help at all cos I don't own a Mac to test on >.<
If you're on Windows, you should be able to download either the Solipsism Reigns – GxB – Windows or Solipsism Reigns – GxB – windows (smaller version). Once downloaded, unzip the folder like you usually would by right-clicking it and extracting the files.
Once you've extracted the files to a folder, you should have something that looks like this:
Then you double-click on the exe here:
And the game should run.
BUT, depending on your computer's specs, it could take a looong time to actually do anything >.< On my old laptop, it took something crazy like a full 5-7 minutes to actually launch the game after clicking the exe. It looks like it's not doing anything, but it does eventually open. Unless the computer doesn't have enough memory, then it might just not do anything >.< Even on my PC which has relatively decent specs, it still takes about 20 seconds to actually launch though.
If your folder doesn't look like that after extracting the files though, or if clicking the exe opens up something that isn't the game, then it probably means you're one of the unlucky people who has the weird error that I don't know how to fix T_T

thanks for answering ! I'll try to download the smaller version and I'll try again owo, by the way maybe what happened is that since my pc is not very good (only 4GB of ram) the version that weighed more didn't run xD sorry for bothering you with this little error! qvq again thanks for the help ^^
Maybe >.< but still, I would like to hope that 4GB of ram would be enough to run most visual novels :( I know the download size is quite large and it takes a while to start up, but once it's actually running, even the original version should work on most computers. My old potato laptop was a super potato with extremely low specs, but even though it took forever to actually launch after clicking the exe, it did eventually run x3 and once it was running, it was smooth. It was just the startup that caused problems.
Anyways, you have nothing to apologise for x3 I hope that the smaller version ends up working for you at least! :3
