I think you forgot to include the .pck resource file in the Windows build, but I was able to get it to start by copying it in and renaming it from the macOS build. (I think the Linux build may have the same issue)

I liked the idea and atmosphere, but couldn't figure out what to do. Is there a way to escape? If I stayed in the house nothing would happen and if I left I would be killed as soon as I got long enough away

A pager going off in an empty farmhouse at night is already unsettling. The fact that it isn't even yours makes it worse.

I left my ratings! If you get a chance, please check out and rate our game too: [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).

I didn't understood what is the goal, I got the pager and said there is no escape, if I get far it kills me... I guess you didn't had time to fully finish what you wanted to make, that's ok.

The Windows build is fixed! Thank you for reporting, @the-big-lost.

The story was the part most impacted by the life circumstances—I'm planning to finish what I was hoping to build during the jam, you can follow the itch.io page to get a notification when I release that. :) But in this build, yeah, it's all atmosphere and there's not really any story—you just get killed if you go too far from the house, or after 5 minutes, whichever happens first.
