Game won't run
Hey! I bought the game during the Halloween sale and have been hyped to play it, but every time I try opening the game it will open a small window with the game icon and a red exclamation mark, stay open for a few seconds, then close. When it closes Steam will change from saying "playing" to "run". I have tried uninstalling, waiting, validating the game files, checking the required specs (They are all met). I have also emailed the game support through the creator but have yet to hear back. The next thing I'm planning to try is to log into a friends's computer to see if it will run on there from my library. Overall I'm at a loss of what to do, any suggestions?

Re-install game. Check for 'existence' of game. If game exists, copy content to a safe folder.
Try to run through Steam. If won't run check that game still exists in install location.
If not, copy safe location content back to install location.
Send shortcut to desktop. Run as Admin. (Are you Admin?) Try again.
Do other games run OK? Better still, do they install OK?
Game should install and run. Try again. (look for a workaround)
This problem isn't uncommon. Search these forums. You'll likely find a fix.

get a better PC or get the Graphics and ♥♥♥♥ lower. Or fix your NVIDEA problems.
