Thanks for the reply!
My system does already have DirectX 11 installed though, so I guess that's not the case
The game loads fine, but when I click the start button (the one to actually start start the game) I get get stuck with some dialogue in a glitchy black screen
I can't be sure because I can't see but it seems the game was already running "behind" the black screen, as I managed to restart the dialogue by pressing the interact button again, but when I moved my mouse (as if looking to the side) I couldn't start the dialogue a third time
