itch.io

where drift?

I'm going to assume you meant a chromebook
This is more or less how you run the linux version of the game

1) first of all enable linux support in settings (settings > advanced > developer)

2) then when that is complete hit ctrl + alt + T to open a terminal and type
sudo apt install python3
then press enter

3) download the game and extract it then go to the folder where the game is,
if it's in your downloads folder you can access by:
cd /home/chronos/user/Downloads/
then press enter

4) once you get to the game folder which if you went like how I told you would be
/home/chronos/user/Downloads/liarliar1.0-all

python ./liar\ liar.py to play the game

so that's pretty much it
hope this works
if you're wondering how you can automate this so that you can for example just click an icon in the app launcher
I dunno lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This game looks interesting

too bad it runs like crap on my potato which is surprising for a game on itch.io

Edit: Although that was like a year ago so It might be fine now

I see one with RPGMaker Icons pack and one without

can someone please outline the differences and whether this really matters much

I can point you towards a software call Wine that runs windows apps on MacOS and Linux

I recommend to download PlayOnMac
