2026 - Use any archive extractor (WinRAR, 7-Zip, WinZip, etc.)
- Enter the password when prompted
- Extract all files from the archive to a folder of your choice.
- IMPORTANT: All files must be extracted to the same folder.

Q: Does this build require an internet connection? A: No. The build runs fully offline. No account, launcher, or online check is required to launch it.
Q: Is it safe to download and play? A: Yes — the build is a standalone Windows executable that requires no installation, online authentication, or registry changes. It runs entirely from its own folder and can be removed by simply deleting it.
Q: What exactly is this? A: This is an early, unfinished development build of the game. It is a pre-alpha / work-in-progress prototype, not the final retail version. Expect missing features, placeholder assets, debug overlays, and rough edges.
Q: What should I do if the game crashes? A: Crashes are expected in this early stage. Try running the build as administrator, ensure your GPU drivers are up to date, and check the Issues tab for known problems.
Q: Will this affect my official game install or saves? A: No. This build is completely self-contained. It does not interact with your existing game files, save data, cloud sync, or platform libraries. It runs independently and leaves no traces behind after deletion.
Q: Can I share this build with others? A: Yes, you can share the link to this repository. Please do not reupload the build to other platforms — keeping distribution in one place makes updates easier to track.
Q: Is this the full game? A: No. This is a partial, in-development snapshot. Large portions of the game may be unfinished, and the final polish, balance, and optimization are missing. Think of it as a snapshot of the project at an early stage.
