I found this problem after I played for 2-3 minutes. I’m not sure if it’s just me. It happens right when you turn on your PC, press the down arrow key, and select the “Stay Home” option.

When you press it, it will look like the image below.

The version I play is Window but it seems like there is a MAC file with it. The file name is __MACOSX. Normally, this file shouldn’t be in the Window version.

I've found the issue with the file name of the character that is meant to appear, i'll be uploading a fixed version of the game file this afternoon! Thanks for letting me know, also the macosx file shouldn't cause any issues and is likely just there because i use mac to zip the game files.
