So I have been dowloading a bunch of games and among them, there are games that I'm unable to open and the files look kinda different too.Normally when you open the file there will only be a game name.exe to open the game but with the unable ones they have a another file that said 32-bit.exe.Can someone help me fix this problem please. I use window.
Games for different platforms can be uploaded to itch. Possibly you are downloading a game that is not compatible with your OS.
It would be best if you asked directly on the pages of those games.
Without knowing more details it is difficult to offer you any more help.
For example, exactly what OS are you using?
What games are you having a problem with?
What error do you get when running the games?
A normal Windows is usually compatible with 64 and 32-bit executables, which from what you say, seems to be the problem.
Maybe you have a limited version of Windows, for example, for education, but without more data, this is just guesswork.
I'm using Dell Window 10 , I'm having problem with a tons of games I dowloaded maybe like 50% or more in total.
Don't take this cat home may be a perfect example since I only dowload visual novel games. And I can't run games which have 2 files of the games name which are the -32.exe and the normal .exe
If it is Renpy, the normal executable should work. Renpy usually doesn't cause problems.
If it doesn't, it may be a problem with your PC's drivers.
Try to run the game normally, that is, the normal .exe. If it is not executed, the log.txt or traceback.txt file would have to be created
Take those files and consult directly in the renpy community, since it will be easier for them to tell you the problem.

However, from what you describe, I think it is a problem with your PC drivers.
What does this even mean? "I can't run games"?
This is a computer. It usually will tell you what is wrong. So what is the error message? What does happen if you try to run the game? Did you try to open the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version? Both fail? What is the respective error message? Are the files blocked by your antivirus?
There is no rule for a exporting a renpy game. The creator choses the platform to create the files for. They can chose to create 32, 64, or both, and Mac Files and Linux files.
Also there is not really a naming convention. Some chose to name the files with 32 bit and or 64 bit, some do not.
If no log.txt was created, that sounds like a serious problem. You would not happen to run this from within a zip file or extracted it with one account and execute it with another account that has no write permission or any such similar things?
I did not try that cat game, but the windows and the linux version seem to be the same zip file. Did you maybe miss the windows version and tried to start the linux version?
Technically, only a very small portion of a renpy game is platform specific. You can even run them from within the renpy developerkit, if your operating system is missing. You just need to select it as a project.
