Yeah there's supposed to be an event then but the game can get stuck because it has a lot to load then or something if its not running in the right environment. Make sure you follow the read me instructions included in the files to get the game running properly.
I came to this issue as well which was apparently caused by the game being located in a folder starting with a dot, and it was there because I downloaded it through the itch desktop app. So make sure you download it through a separate browser and then run it from your downloads folder or something.
