are you on a mac or windows?

if you on windows are you sure downloaded the windows version and not the mac version?

Edit: download and it extracts fine and runs fine

it is checked but still does the same, the other game works fine
Hmm... The only difference I see is the use of Ren'Py 8.x. Therefore, among those others, it's there Frozen Past, Lucie, Pure Love, Writer's Visit, or a game you know to be made with Ren'Py 8.x ?
Else, can you download the latest (the compressed version is enough). It's relatively lame, but it's the smallest (in size) Ren'Py 8.x game I remember.

Talking about this, it's probably useless but worth being asked: The game have a hotfix with just the RPA for the scripts. It's not what you are trying to launch, right ?

I am running windows. Few other games were doing it too. So ZenosAnthology worked, Tower of dreams chapter 2 did not as well, Deadmoon survival did not work. I recently reformat the computer 3 weeks ago. I went to try download it again make sure i hit window's version. say filename(2) So I am hitting right download link

Also this is the first time I ever had this problem too.

what are the links that you download from the most?
are you using a ad blocker at all?

it's possible that you are getting bad download links from the file host from their ad service

So I found out the problem. Since it was for some reason no opening the zip file with winrar, it was no uncompressing it properly. When I realized this and right click and open it up with winrar. the game works now.

Er... Oh ! I think that I'll never get never used to winrar weirdness and the possibility it give to run software without firstly explicitly extracting them.
