It's not needed. There're a few choices which have huge impacts on the available routes but the game gives you hints at that points.
Weird, i have this error for the first time. I've downloaded from MEGA.

It shouldn't even be looking there, though your file path naming is also off... Do you have multiple copies of the game installed or some other unique/weird installation issues? You might just try re-extracting to desktop and running from there to see if it'll launch properly. I haven't heard from anyone else with this issue, so it might just be you...
I've downloaded the game 2nd time just to be sure, this is why the pathing is like that. I've extracted the file to the desktop but still got the same error. Well, it was looking like a good game but though luck i guess. Thank you for the reply and good luck with your game.

FWIW, the most common reason for this issue is a "non-standard" character in the full file path. It's happened a few times before (not on this build) and the solution was placing the game folder in a file path without non-standard characters. Not sure why Renpy chokes on ñ or ç even when those are common characters, but it's just how it is IG.

I know. Steam gets a pretty big cut, like 30% while I think Buy Me a Coffee is like 5%.

Steam is, itself, DRM, even if it's a fairly good example of it. The number of people that don't get that is surprising, but considering how thoroughly it's interwoven into PC gaming, it's somewhat understandable, too.
No, Steam has a built in DRM but it's opt in, not automatic. People can download this game from Steam and then immediately throw it in a zip and redistribute it as they please. If Steam DRM or a third party DRM isn't enabled then a game downloaded from Steam is just as redistributable as one from GOG.

Legacy is a pretty important part of the plot - you'll see.
30 total. 1-5 is a bit of a prologue, 6-25 are the main story, and 26-30 will be an epilogue.
extract to a clean folder in the root of a drive. not desktop, not hidden behind 10+ folders. especially if you're on win 11.

"Q. Do I need to apply DRM to my exe every time I make a new build?
A. Yes, each build you intend to publish needs to be wrapped with the Steam wrapper. Try automating it using the Automated Steam Wrapper process documented above."
If you can show something that contradicts, please by all means do so. But it was always my understanding that it was not optional, only the method you go about applying it is optional.

...Or you could just not apply the Steam DRM and publish anyways. Theoretically speaking.

I mean... who are you going to believe... someone who actually published a game on steam or some random expert...Or you could just not apply the Steam DRM and publish anyways. Theoretically speaking.
