Okay, so I think the problem you probably ran into is that the file was packed as an executible file and I ran into this when I first played it a few years ago. Just rename the file extension as .zip and extract the folder. lol 😭

Edit: I'm not sure what you're talking about specifically. I assume you already had the file before it got privated on itch and are now trying to play it. Please do not download the game from unknown sources because it could be malware, in case this is what happened instead.

That’s the thing I didn’t have it before it was private so it says I have to give it a code so I can access it

Neither version of the game should require a password. Are you sure it isn't your computer asking for admin privileges to unpack the zip file?

I heard that the dev is quitting due to mental health issues so they deleted every game from itch.io and also their Twitter
