Hello, I'm having an issue attempting to play this game.
I'm able to download it just fine it downloads as an application but when I try to play it says "The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect."
So, I don't know what to do here and I've been really wanting to play this game for a while.
I've also removed the "!" in the name of the game file and it let me download it like a setup wizard but then I got an error like this-
It says unable to execute file: C:\program files (x86)\IWantOut!\I_want_out!.exe
CreateProcess failed; code 2 The system cannot find the file specified
I'm sorry to hear this. The error seems to come from the operating system itself more then the game. It could be because of an antivirus blocking the game... I'm not sure at all.
I'll think about this and come back of I have a better idea.
Edit: maybe you could try the portable version, which is just the zipped files, without the installer.
I'll attempt to try downloading the portable version then.
Thank you for responding but my other question would be if this doesn't work do you know any other solutions there would be for me to be able to play it? I apologize for my late reply.
Edit: I have no idea how to setup a portable version of a game.
I can't find a file saying I want out exe and I've never wanted to play a game this badly. So is there anything else you suggest I should and could do?
(I cut the left and right sides off within the screenshot, otherwise the file was too big) I would love to play this game, but when I launch it, the top part of the game screen is cut off, and my mouse cursor won't/can't go to the bottom of the screen. And since there is no resolution to change, Its unplayable for me.
(I tried both the windows installer, and the windows portable version, but neither had a different result)
The pic shows how low my cursor can get comfortably (i have to slowly edge it down, otherwise) and that the top is cut off... Its the same after I start playing, i can only see part of the texts and what not
You can try to change the display settings with the "Configuration" shortcut before launching the game (this shortcut is in the "I Want Out!" shortcuts folder in the Start Menu...)
You can change the Window Scale setting, that changes the size of the game window..
You can also change from a full screen to a windowed mode.
I do want to say, to anyone else that uses the configuration shortcut, it does change your actual screen display, I had to change mine back after playing, because the screen was not correct anymore
Sehr authentisches Point&Click im Stile der 80er und 90er Jahre. Erinnert sehr stark in der Mechanik an die Retro Indiana Jones P&C Spiele. Leider habe ich direkt zu beginn erkannt, um wen es sich bei dem Kind wirklich handelt. Ansonsten muss ich sagen. wurde ich zwar gut unterhalten komme aber persönlich mit dem Genre so gar nicht klar. Das ist natürlich subjektiv aber für mich ist es einfach zu frustrierend, besonders wenn es keine eingebaute Mechanik gibt, die einem weiterhilft. Klar, dem Installationsordner liegt ein Walkthrough bei, und ohne ihn hätte ich das nicht geschafft - aber hätte ich das nicht beiläufig gesehen, hätte ich vermutlich aufgrund der vielen Sackgassen vermutlich das Spiel abgebrochen. Der Progress fühlt sich teilweise einfach nicht wirklich belohnend an, sondern eher demotivierend.

The portable version is a zipped file.
You just unzip it in a folder and then, you run the file i_want_out!.exe.
It should work. Well I hope...

Just never got around to playing it, and found it again just the other day.
Glad I played it, and realized how crazy of a adventure this really was.

It should help 😊
I shall try these! Thank you! (And I'll update on if it worked haha)
Well, here is my quick update haha, The configurations folder worked, so Thank you!
That was an amazing game! I really hope that there will be a part 2 haha, you definitely left it open to have one
Loved the gameplay, and storyline, it was fantastic!
I'd really love to make another one, either a prequel or a sequel... It's mainly a lack of free time issue 😁
I do want to say, to anyone else that uses the configuration shortcut, it does change your actual screen display, I had to change mine back after playing, because the screen was not correct anymore
Thanks for this input. I was not aware of that behavior, as I never saw this happening.
I'll take a look at this, because it's not supposed to behave like this 😕
Good luck in figuring that out! :-)
