first do what MS_DS said then do this
(yes i'm just copy pasting this from my other responses because NO WAY am i writing this again)
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOUR PC RUNS WINDOWS 10 OR 11
i know i'm late but i might as well say how to do it.
1. open 2 file explorer tabs
2. on one of the file explorer tabs, create a new folder and open it
3. on the other tab, open the zipped FPE file.
4. then drag the FPE-alphaV3.5 folder (not the zipped one but the folder inside the zipped folder) into the new folder in the other file explorer tab.
5. finally, open "FangameTale.exe" (or if you're on windows 11 then just FangameTale).
(if windows firewall blocks it, just click more options and run anyway.)
6. to open the game again, simply open the folder with the FangameTale file on it, then open it.
