Alright maybe I misunderstood your earlier posts, by black screen you meant it was persistent until you closed the game yourself? My game does get stuck on launch too but it takes one restart to get it past Monster Box logo and to the main menu, maybe your computer is just that slow or something
Okay this is maybe a little off topic but i just bought steam version of the game and it's working perfectly, idk why

Just wanna ask, when I dl & extract the game, it is stuck in black screen only, is there a way to fix this or no, am i missing a Microsoft visual C++ or something(The game is downloaded in HDD btw), for some reason some games are like this, wouldn't pull through and just stuck in black screen

This already happened to someone else earlier but I didn't get a clear answer, is the game stuck on black screen for you until you have to close the game process manually? And does it persists even after restarting the game? I doubt the type of your drive is the issue here and not sure about the runtimes but good rule of thumb would be to just get the most common ones that Steam usually ships with any game that needs them which would be DirectX and recent Visual C++ pack
( DirectX )
( Visual c++ )

From the links you have represented, I have both the Visual C++ x86 and x64 except for the arm64 as it said it isnt supported by the device, and as for your question if the black screen continues to persist, yes even after restarting the game multiple times nd I have to alt+f4 since theres no other way for me to close the game, though i have tried Buying some of the games counterparts in steam and tried it to see if i get the same problem(refunded it before hitting the 2hr mark) the game run smoothly when launched in steam


Sidenote: Sorry for the late reply since i just visit i kinda forgot about this, and it doesnt notify too

I assume you already had DirectX redistributables installed aswell? Or maybe you didn't and after buying the game and launching it on Steam it automatically got installed on your machine in the background. If that isn't the case then maybe it's the anti DRM solution ( there is just one .txt file and it seems to bypass the protection for most people ) that's at fault here.
I guess the more this happens to others the quicker we will eventually find out what's the culprit behind this odd behavior of the game

Can someone explain whats going on with this game? I keep seeing something about "First Nights" or "Lustful nights" and sometimes it sounds/looks like some people are playing a completly different game than the main download. I keep seeing people talking about how the devs keep revamping the game and now its worse than it was etc. etc. So what is the difference between this game, the one on itch and the one on steam and first nights or lustful nights or whatever? What is the correct version? Is it 0.7.x or 0.3.3? Im confused.

Actually through out all these builds game went from one game engine to another so it's been different iterations of it, also I am not that knowledgeable on the matter of subject but there was some in dev team drama around that let to some mishaps happening? Better to read previous posts to learn more, I should do that some time too.

Does anyone here still possess an old version with Cassidy? The particular one where her "jumpscare sequence" does not trigger a gameover would be preferred.

In the OP you have the current build, Unity, 0.3.x. No need to be confused.
Otherwise this game has been through such hell that there are many versions and there is a lot that you try. So older posts are about older versions. Until version 0.7.5 it was UE4, 0.8 -0.804 UE5, then a playable simple "prequel" First Nights was created from the remains of UE5, then Smugs finally found a new lead programmer and started new Unity version from version 0.

Yeah youre right to assume that i also have DirectX redistrubatables, but as for the DRM solution where can i find this, I mean for the game itself like this one

That anti DRM solution I was talking about is quite literally just a text file called "steam_appid.txt", you can find it in your already downloaded version of the game from this website
