(EDIT)
So... Game was stuck in a black screen after Unity logo... v1.0.2c (extra). Running on win10 64 bits. Changed things in the launcher, like graphic quality, resolution and full screen. Tried updating codecs, running as admin... Nothing. If you have this error, try to move the game to another location and run. Maybe you have a invalid character in one of your folders names or your folders path is just too long and the game can't access some files (which is dumb). Hope it helps (probably was already commented here a dozen time, I know).

Do you have k-lite codec pack?

Do you have C++ redisrib?

Yep and yep. Only disk I can run the game is C. Really dont know why. Trying to figure out now. Everytime I run the game from another disk a new entry in the firewall list of programs is generated. If I delete the Faerin folder from my AppData, it comes back.
Did you play an older version?
Also, could you upload your log file, maybe one of us can figure it out from that.
It is located in
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\LocalLow\Faerin\Man of the house
Nope, first time playing (or trying to). The log file is the output_log one right?
Found a exception on it:
IsolatedStorageException: Could not find a part of the path "E:\101\H\Games\Man of the House v1.0.2c (extra)\mapping.xml".

Have you tried putting the executable in your firewall's exception/whitelist rather than the folder itself? And as far as drive letters, I have two HDDs installed on my machine. One (C:\) is for the OS only and the other (D:\) for my games and have had no trouble running from the D drive. I will say though that the path will play some part in it.. IOW, if you have the game buried within sub-folders, either the game will "hang" or animations won't display. We've seen that a lot with this game and Faerin's new game. So try to at least keep the game in its own folder and you won't run into issues that you mentioned previously.
Now, as far as your E drive, is that an optical drive (CD/DVD) or external? I've actually seen one player years ago try running the game from their DVD drive and for obvious reasons (the game trying to write to the save file), it won't work.
E: is a HDD. About the "buried within sub-folders" part... You're saying that having it in a long path (many sub-folders) may add some trouble? I kinda don't want my 3d incest fucking games right in the open, you know :v

Yes, that's correct. Having it deep within the sub-folders will cause a lot of problems with the game, such as what I mentioned. Believe it or not, that's actually more common than you think. But we get a lot of bug reports/technical support issues on that. Here's one such example from a player log I received on Discord in the Mystwood Manor technical support channel:
That player said his game hung when trying to load the game and it was because of the extra long path.

Yeah, windows doesn't like really long file names, you can try shortening the folder names, or making one of them hidden, something like that.

That one in particular, if you count the entire path, was over 180 characters long (that's counting everything, including the spaces and parenthesis).
Tried some paths here. It SEEMS the game is sensitive about the NAME of the sub-folders too. The folder I have the game has a "invisible" name. With the same number of sub-folders, the game runs without problems when I name the folder to something else.
Well, changed the name of the original folder from " " (that's not a space) to "a" and the game is running. The line of the log I've showed even says that it "Could not find a part of the path", so I think it was just the program being unable to understand that character. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
