Instructions for unzipping the folder and getting the game running

1. Once the download is complete, go to your downloads folder. You should see a zipped folder called ‘cov_demo_windows’. Right-click it, and then, from the list that appears, see if there’s an option to ‘Extract all’, or something similar. If there is, left-click it, and skip to Step 6. If there isn’t, continue to Step 2.

2. You will need a program capable of unzipping folders. I use PeaZip. Go to https://peazip.github.io/ and click the ‘PeaZip for Windows’ link. On the screen it takes you to, click the download button.

3. Once the download is complete, go to your downloads folder and double-click the PeaZip file/folder. Follow any prompts it gives you about installing the program.

4. Once PeaZip is installed, go back to your downloads folder. Right-click the zipped folder called ‘cov_demo_windows’. There should now be a ‘PeaZip’ option. Hover your cursor over it, and then, from the list that appears, select ‘Extract here’.

5. An unzipped duplicate of the folder should appear next to the zipped one. Double-click it to open it.

6. Among the files in this folder, there should be one called ‘City of Voices’, with an icon showing a red-haired girl’s head in front of a blue background. Open it! (You may get a prompt saying something about how Windows prevented you from opening it. If this happens, click ‘More information’ on the prompt window that appears, and then click ‘Run anyway’).

7. Optional: If you want to add the game to your desktop, right-click the aforementioned icon, select ‘Create shortcut’, and then drag the duplicate icon that appears onto your desktop.
