Yes, unfortunately, at the last moment it turned out that the game starts if you distribute it just as a zip package, but through itch.io It doesn't work. We are working on this, we hope the organizers will allow us to fix this problem.
We were able to detect the problem! In the absence of at least an empty save, the game does not start. Most likely, the organizers will not allow us to make changes, but you can run it yourself! Create a file along the path: C:\ProgramData\CA\Saves\save1.ca
