itch.io

hi! i'm having an issue i don't understand that can hopefully be fixed?

when i download either of the two zips available from buying misericorde here, opening them in windows explorer has windows throw up a "The compressed folder is invalid" error. i can open them with a program like 7zip, but extracting them results in everything going smoothly up until the archive.rpa file in the game subfolder, which gets halted mid-extraction with a "Data error" error, leaving it extracted as a partial file. in this state, the game does not run when i open the executable. i'm not sure what's happening here :(

as many things go, i started a piece the day the jam started and neglected it until the day the jam closed. but i happened to be sick this morning, and thinking about the jam sent me into a stupor fixated on finishing my work. this is the piece i would've submitted had it been on time, titled "waiting to cross"

i think my original vision had more detail in it, but as i half-finished it i liked leaving key background details out in favor of abstracting the important parts. made it feel a little dreamlike. i'd love to still participate in the zine!
