May I see your PC specs? (Operating system, CPU, GPU, RAM)
I've been trying to reproduce this bug for days now, yet nothing I'm trying causes it to happen.
And you're saying character(s)? Both characters disappear? If this is the case, that narrows things down a little, to likely just being something with the animated objects.
Operating system, windows 10 version 22H2
GPU: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (3.9 GB)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Ram: 7.8 GB (most of it is usually in use though.)
When it comes to the issue itself the background appears, the dialogue text appears, the bars on the side and the 3 top buttons including the setting buttons, but the cat and the penis simply aren't there.
Your specs are almost identical to my laptop's specs, and it runs on there. So luckily your PC shouldn't be the issue.
If you can, run the game through the console, start the game and when you don't see the character, screenshot the output in the console (before closing the game).
To do this, shift+right click on the folder where the game is stored, and open in command prompt (or open powershell window here). Enter "./Feraline.exe" into the console. This should open the game with all of the game's output going to the console.
Another thing to try if there are no related errors there, would be to update your Intel video drivers. But it's possible (albeit unlikely) to cause problems from that.
Got a lot of errors.
