    Tried to play this game, but it wont even load. The choice screen loads up, and when you click play it just does nothing. How can a game that is this old not even load and still be on sale in the store? I'm sure there might even be solutions to the problem... but maybe that is something the game should fix? Not even worth it on sale, sorry.

    Game did not run on my Windows 11 laptop despite over an hour of troubleshooting, for which I used both the in-game "support" button and steam discussion boards. I intend to refund it and get the sequel, which sounds amazing and worth the extra cost for something functional.
