Windows 10.Just tested and it seemed to be fine. Not sure why you aren't getting text. Space bar hides the UI box, but I don't think it would be that simple. If you can provide exact steps to replicate from opening the game, that would be helpful to pin down why this happens.
1.Download the rar archive from workupload
2.Winrar extract
3.Open game.exe
4.Click recollection
5.Click top right card (no text) or click bottom left card (no text)
Top left card(first one) working btw.
Tried local emulator, tried delete save and new game, all the same.
When i press space bar i got this. Without space bar, just image.
