Thanks I really appreciate it, I'm glad you liked the story!
I agree, the gameplay segments could have used some additional tension/urgency.
Thank you for checking it out!
Great music! I used your song "Crash Landing" in my game: https://rumblebox.itch.io/invasion
Thanks for release such great music under CC!
Same error for me as well.
Not sure if this is the problem you are having, but I was having this same issue sideloading my zipped game as well.
I was using the windows built in zipping utility and it wouldn't sideload properly.
I re-zipped it with 7zip and it sideloaded normally, not sure why but it fixed the issue for my game.
I actually just fixed it!
Apparently windows 11 built in zip utility was breaking the zip file somehow.
I re-zipped it using 7zip and I was able to confirm on a physical device that it should now be working normally.
Sorry for all the confusion everyone! Thank you for checking out the game and for your patience!
To move around the map you have to use the format: "Go <direction>." So to go into the house from the front yard you would need to use the command: "Go North." All of the possible directions in a room are listed at the bottom of the room's description.
Also, thank you for sharing this! I'll try to improve some of the player feedback to make that formatting clearer in the next update!
