Well, that's... um... a failure, alright. A Windows failure, that is.
You should remove accented characters from all your filenames. (Specifically the ö's in Shrödinger.) It seems to break the RMXP decompresser, and even after decompressing it with another tool (hi 7zip) and attempting to repair the corrupted filenames, it just won't find the files.
Or that's what I assume is going on, anyways...
I'm working on it!
My apologies, I have removed the accented characters from the file names. Thank you.

Hm. As-is, still can't install the game normally. Simple solution though: rename the downloaded installer file (which still has an ö). It's kind of dumb, but eh. Windows logic.
Found one ending! Then sort of wandered around for a while, not really knowing what I was looking for. Still don't. Still in the box.
Original. Delivers on its promises. (Except the last one. Grumper's totally bad.)
Good work!
Cool, removed the 'ö' from the installer file as well. xD
Thank you for the help, sometimes it's not easy to find someone willing to help across other localized versions of Windows.
Honestly, I can't say I enjoyed it. I feel like there's potential for games that make fun of themselves to be fun, but this just screams "I made this in two hours". You had 48 hours man... you could do some amazing stuff in RPG Maker in 48 hours.

Honestly, you're not trying being honest. You try to roast me for no reason other than some weird frustration you might have. In 246 characters, you were completely unable to say anything constructive.
True, this is far less than what RPG Maker is capable or for example far less than what I would expect from myself. However, this was so far the worst theme for me and guess what, some peole have jobs and families damnit.
First of all, no, it does't scream of being made in 2 hours, because all sprites, graphics, animations are made by me. Also, the whole damn script which was a lot of work.
I encourage you to try the same in 2 hours. Spoilers, the script alone took way more.
You can't see any of the RTP used there, for the simple reason there is none used.
Also, I didn't have 48 hours, it's 72 for a Jam entry, but my family and friends took away a huge chunk of development time. Which I don't consider a huge loss, this Theme was my weakspot and I'll do better next time.
Also, next time, try to be constructive. Geez.
@Linear
p.s.: I'm not going to rate your game for the simple fact that it wouldn't be fair. Normally I'm quite generous towards people with any kind of constructive criticism, as it helps in improving my future entries.
This wasn't criticism however. As such I'm not sure if I could resist the urge to search for mistakes in the game of yours.
