The portable version is a zipped file.
You just unzip it in a folder and then, you run the file i_want_out!.exe.
It should work. Well I hope...
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear this. The error seems to come from the operating system itself more then the game. It could be because of an antivirus blocking the game... I'm not sure at all.
I'll think about this and come back of I have a better idea.
Edit: maybe you could try the portable version, which is just the zipped files, without the installer.
Hi,
You can try to change the display settings with the "Configuration" shortcut before launching the game (this shortcut is in the "I Want Out!" shortcuts folder in the Start Menu...)
You can change the Window Scale setting, that changes the size of the game window..
You can also change from a full screen to a windowed mode.
It should help 😊

Oh, crap!
I was aware there was some false positives with Avast antivirus.
Which antivirus is it? The one that comes with Windows?
You may add an "exception" in the antivirus to make it not scan the program but I'd recommend you check the program before with an online scanner like VirusTotal (it scans one file with many antivirus software) in order to see if there is only one or two detections which should be false positives or if there are plenty, which could indicate a real infection.
Sorry you had so many issues... 😕
Hey!
I'd like to join in and support with our free game I Want Out! : https://i-want-out.itch.io/i-want-out
After all, even if we didn't put emphasis on this at all, our little hero, Luke, may be one of the few non-white video game characters! ;-)
Hi Laura,
The Linux version works.
In order to run the program, it may be necessary (it was for me) to run a terminal window (command line interface) in the game folder and type:
./aroomwithoutyou
Else, clicking on the file may just open an editor with the content of the file...
Maybe most Linux users are already aware of that, but you could add this information to your instructions...
Cheers,
Nicolas
Thanks for your kind comment, Laura!
I would remake the game with a more modern interface if it wasn't such a huge work. Maybe one day ...
And you can be proud of being the first and only one to have identified the Helloween sample at the end! (It's really where the game's name comes from after all!). Congratulations !
Hi,
There's indeed a Linux version (a .tar.gz file that should be compatible with the app according to itch.io documentation).
I don't use the app myself, nor Linux, so I didn't know about that but I'll try to take a look. It won't be right now, though, since I haven't access to any Linux machine atm, sorry...
Hi! It's not a horror game per se, but our game's atmosphere is a bit eerie... If you wanna take a look, it's here : https://i-want-out.itch.io/i-want-out
