I uploaded a version of the game that wasn't compressed using the compression software within RPG maker XP. Now you just need to do that initial unzipping that should now give you all the main game files. Hopefully that should fix the issue for you or anyone else facing this problem.
Huh, it's weird that it's behaving for you like that. Well, that settles it. I'll upload a version that is just the game in a zip folder. Annexing the in-engine compression process.
If memory serves, the error you are having should be bypassed when you right-click on the executable and select "open archive" through the 7-zip context sub menu, that should work. Let me know if it still doesn't though. Let me know if it works as well.
I do plan on finishing this game which will achieve the set goal of allowing role-playing as your own unique pony character. It just won't have as grand a scale as I originally planned. When I finish the game and release it and people still want more I would consider a plan to either remake the game in a better engine or more likely make an expansion that has less story elements but almost entirely focuses on exploration and just lets you do whatever you like/can find.
Choicer Voicer is basically a party game where you get to customize it to the party goers interest (or get them to say things truly embarrassing) endlessly.
You're paying for the framework of what could be a really good event with friends and family. There are board games and card games that cost more and will entertain less than this.
