How far the story of this game go now?

Code_Duck · Aug 16, 2024

Hey, when I downloaded the game, it found the game application, but when I tried to run it, it just said the zlibl.dll and x64-msvcrt-ruby300.dll wasn't there, even though it literally at the bottom. I didn't unzip or decompress anything because there's nothing that can be unzipped except the game application, and I receive an error message when I try to do that. Really excited about this game, so any advice on how to play it?

So same guy. When I try to extract the entire thing, I get the following error message, "An unexpected error is preventing the archive from being extracted. Error 0x8096002A." Any advice?

I searched for that error code and found this from a few months ago:

I also tried searching for those two missing files and found this:

There might have been a problem with your download or the version you downloaded may have been bugged. Try the latest download version if you haven't already and use 7-Zip to unzip it.

Sometimes these RMXP fangames unzip incorrectly.

When I click the link to download it says;
"Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist. Make sure that you have the correct URL and the file exists."
I wonder when the link went down, I remember downloading this game a year or two back when Relic still was around.
From the posts above the link was still working back in August of this year.

Such a shame the only version listed in the initial post has been removed from the google drive.
Their discord link is also expired so I can't tell anyone there that the link's down here.
I'm sure it's posted/updated on another site but I prefer to get everything from this site, if someone notices the download link is ever replaced and is working be sure to message me! :)
