itch.io

They're not the only one with this problem, as I too have been having this issue. Itch isn't showing the shadow test as a compatible download, not even  Windows issue because I have a friend who has Windows 10 with 7zip, I have 11 without it, but I know about the extraction issue with Windows 11 and the 7zip requirement. Whatever is going on, I assume its either a hardware requirement, or something else I can't really deduce. We've also checked the app vs. the actual VotV site on itch, nothing. The only compatible/available download it shows is the 0.8.2c version, not the shadow test. 

I'm currently having this same issue as well, not sure if dev decided it was a way to close the test build or not

Thanks for the pointers, it's really really appreciated. Though I'm kinda stuck after downloading the game and 7 zip, I've seen people say its a folder but for me it shows as a 7z file and not a folder. Do I have to extract that file to somewhere?

I'm relatively slow when it comes to computer stuff and I know that you have to have 7 zip to extract and run the game, but my main concern has sorta been if 7 zip is generally safe to have on my computer if I don't exactly have an antivirus. I'm usually very wary of downloading things and taking tons of extra steps not to click on anything even remotely sketchy, so any info on it could really help as I've always loved seeing this game through it's development so far and I've wanted to finally play it myself.
