Hello. It is difficult to try to help you with so little information.

For example, does the message say "game.exe" or do you mean "game" to refer to different games?

Do you use the itch app or download the games from the website?

Does it happen to you randomly or only with some games?

If it only happens to you with certain games, it is best to contact the creators of those games directly.

If the message says "game.exe" and it appears randomly, it is best to install and run an antivirus, each game has its own name and if it fails it should tell you something like <game name>.exe stopped working and not "game.exe", that could be a virus.

the main game I'm having difficulty with is "https://spring-rabbit.itch.io/the-house"

every time I play it I get a notification at some point in the game saying:

"The House.exe is not responding."

I download the games from the website.

It doesn't happen with every game I play but it has happened on about 3 of the 20 I have played so far.

Maybe your graphics drivers are outdated.

But the app not responding actually means, it is in a non responsive loop or similar. Not that your pc is too slow. If that were so, it would stutter and be sluggish. Not stop responding. It usually means, that windows thinks the app should react to input while it does not.
