I would like some help on how to open this game format, I use windows 11 and the game just opens and closes. I downloaded the demo from DLsite.

There's no format visible, it's just an icon with the game's name. However, I assume it's an exe since you opened it.
You did open it, the issue is that it crashed soon after.

I see, pardon me. I've already changed the computer's region and I don't know if the region emulator is something that would be better

it's a normal exe. the icon means it was created with livemaker engine. if the usual locale change doesn't help, try a virtual machine with a windows version that's more likely to be supported by it (win98? xp? win7?)

and as winterfire hinted, .

This icon looks so archaic/outdated from a UI perspective lmao

Got it, sorry it took so long to reply. I went to find out how to install a Virtual Machine and I've been trying for a while because it always takes too long to install WinXP and the blue screen appears.

before installing VM and old OS and whatnot, did you try the "compatibility modes" ?

in file explorer, RMB click on the .exe file -> properties -> compatibility tab : check "run program in compatibility mode for: choose from dropdown list. "Apply"

(English by me, here it is in German, so wording may differ)

(edit: compatibility somehow difficult word for me :-D )
