Previously had the game installed on a different laptop, that one died, installed itch on my new one, re-downloaded the game a few days ago (same itch account , so I still own the game), just tried to launch it now. A blank window opens, closes, and itch says that the game is running. It shows up in my task manager as a background process but not an app (takes up like 5% of my cpu too). I have to end the task, otherwise nothing ever happens.
