Well Lol, idk, i did it like i do to every game to be honest, maybe the problem is from joiplay build that they use, because most of people use public build and And I used patreon build, it's for free in their patreon.

But if they were doing something wrong, I will explain how to run it on Joiplay.
Here's instructions on how to play DEBTORS on Android with Joiplay!
Step 1: Download the the JoiPlay app (.apk file)
Joiplay is not on google play, download the most up to date version (free) from joiplays patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/joiplay
Latest version of JoiPlay 1.20.550:

Step 2: Download the REN'PY plugin (needed to play 'Debtors')
On the same joiplay patreon page, download the latest Ren'py plugin. This allows joiplay to start games created with'Ren'py'. https://www.patreon.com/joiplay
Latest version of Ren'Py 8.3.3 Plugin 1.00.10:

Step 3: Install the .apk files
You will have two .apk files from the previous steps in your download folder.
Android application .apk files are similar to windows .exe files. Open your downloads folder (using the 'files' app or chrome downloads), and start the file called joiplay[some_version].apk file
If you have not installed an .apk file outside google play before, your device might warn you about opening unknown files. Press 'enable installing from unknown sources'
When JoiPlay is installed, install the "RenPyPlugin-8.3.3-1.00.10-patreon-release.apk" download in step 2 the same way.
Step 4: Download 'DEBTORS-5.6-pc.zip' (or any other build, idk if the other builds work on joiplay) from itch
Open your downloads folder, select the 'DEBTORS-5.6-pc.zip" and select "Extract". (Will load a a couple of seconds)
Step 5: Install 'Debtors' in Joiplay (aka press "ok" on a lot of prompts)
Launch the JoiPlay app, and accept the Terms & Conditions & privacy policy
If you have android 13+, JoiPlay asks for permission for notifications. It's not required to accept.
When it asks for storage permissions, press "Allow" on all 4 prompts. (If the first prompt appears again, thats a bug, close the application (recents menu -> swipe away), start joiplay again and press 'ok' again.) A window will appear asking for "All files access". Find "JoiPlay" in the list and turn the toggle on, and then press back.
When the permissions are granted, you see a white screen with a plus in the upper right corner, press that, then "Add Game" -> Choose -> /Download/ -> DEBTORS-5.6-pc -> DEBTORS.exe .
Joiplay will ask what you want the game name and version name to show up as inside Joiplay, go with the default "Debtors", and whatever you want to call the version you downloaded
Skip adding an icon for the game, use the default icon & press next.
Step 6: Play the game.
Press the icon "DEBTORS". The game will now finally start.
Press the small arrow icon at the bottom of the screen to get on-screen buttons you can use in the game to move / press the menu.
(Sorry for my bad English)
this is the original post, I didn't do anything except editing it a little -> https://itch.io/t/3569182/play-on-android-with-joiplay
If it doesn't work, the problem may be with your phone.
By the way, the buttons don't work, it's only touchable. If you try to play the game with buttons, it will crash.
