I didnt face this issue when i was running 0.4 though, even though my av was still on. I just reinstalled the av a month ago... same thing though
It was a long shot. I wish I could help.

If I recall correctly, sometimes the game has problems starting if the path to exe file is too long or has special characters.
Try putting the game into a folder with a shorter path name like C:/Name of the game
I'm sidestepping the Raene discussion, because I know the answers and me participating wouldn't be any fun. 
If that doesn't resolve things, outdated video drivers might be an issue or if your install path contains characters that your current system language cannot display correctly (so Chinese characters when your language is set to English, for example).
Have you tried shortening the path to the game? Even renaming the game's install directory to "tftuv" instead of the long-ass name it currently unpacks to might help.

Thank both of you it was the "long-ass name" of the game folder I just deleted half of the folder name and now the game works .I'm sidestepping the Raene discussion, because I know the answers and me participating wouldn't be any fun.

I think that will be a valuable note for the developer in the future .
Nothing weird about that. It's a long standing and fairly well known Windows issue. I think the full pathname limit is 256 characters.
Bill Gates just needs to fix his operating system!!!
Or is he supposedly too busy inserting chips into people's heads because of the pandemic, I forgot...But you're right, I'll shorten the name for the next releases, seems like quite a few people ran into this problem.

Or solved, depends on how you interpret that response.Mystery intensifies...
Problem is that now I've convinced myself that they're trans and I'd very much like it if they were, I'll be sad if they're not.
I've been on Linux since Windows 95 era. I check Windows from time to time though.

Exactly. Windows Defender is an antivirus. Has been for years.
It disabled itself when you had another AV installed and until recently it was also possible to disable it manually via its settings or registry or by using a policy.
Windows 10 August 2020 update (version 4.18.2007.8) or actually the Microsoft Defender Antimalware platform 4.18.2007.8 it contained, removed that option, or rather, the system now ignores the registry key responsible for it.
So, in case you don't have another AV installed and running, Windows Defender is active. You can not easily disable it any more.
It disables itself only when it detects another AV being active on the system.

Since Windows 10 August 2020 update (version 4.18.2007.8), if you have another AV installed and you disable it, Windows Defender becomes active again.
You can disable Windows Defender manually only temporarily. If you don't enable it again manually later, it becomes active automatically after you restart your PC.
That seems to be often the reason for AV's going nuts over Ren'Py and other indie game platforms.
Now it's probably easier to try to add the game folder to AV exceptions (for your installed AV and Windows Defender both) than disable Windows Defender. It's also generally safer.
To actually really disable Windows Defender permanently now, since the aforementioned update, you have to go through this guide step-by-step:
