Hiiii I'm not a python master so I'm not sure how to open the game... :(

Hi there! You should be able to use the binaries on the download page as fine without needing to run Python.I’m assuming you may have downloaded the source code package instead. I highly recommend using the built binaries instead of using the source code for the game if you are not comfortable playing the game. On Windows, the executable is NoLove.exe (the same is for Linux, sans the .exe part; for macOS, run No Love.app.

If you are deciding to run the game by download the source code, do the following:

  • Install Python 3.9; open a command prompt (PowerShell on Windows or Terminal for macOS/Linux) and run pip3 install pipenv.
  • Go to the project’s folder using cd. You’ll need to determine the path to there to type it in the terminal.
  • Run pipenv install and then run pipenv run game to run the game. You must be in the root folder of the game’s source code to make this work.

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the help!!!! The game was really cool(:thumbs_up)... I would just like to ask you how you got your music to work on python because when ever I try and use the playsound function the music just repeats itself every second so you get this massive, desturbing echo effect that never ends... Could you help me out? :D

I never had the echo problem happen (maybe you’re playing your SFX in the music channel instead of its own sound channel?). You’re more than welcome to take a look at the source code on GitHub to see if that helps: https://github.com/alicerunsonfedora/pale-shelter (should also come bundled in the game under src.
