Making it unplayable. Any idea how to not have it try to load into the Rift?

Saving in Charlotte will only save general game information and allow you to load faster. It will not save the position of the doors and you will start again in the library. It DOES allow you to skip all the intro scenes and improve game loading time. We have just pushed an update that shouldsolve the issues of system lock up when loading/saving. however, if you have any issues, please post in this discussion and we will try to resolve any issues. Thank you for your patience!...

having trouble getting my game to play. Says that i have to install something but when i do install it, it does not do anything and says the same thing. Any ideas on how to help??

I started playing but got interupted by something and had to open the menu to pause the game, when I went back to start playing I found absolutely no way to exit the menu without starting a new game or loading a saved one, I tried using every button on my keyboard and mouse but could not leave the menu without chosing one of those options....

There are two versions of Charlotte, the educational version available on STEAM and the NSFW version on itch.io. The versions are exactly the same except that the adult version has examples of 19th century erotica. You can find that version at https://magicspellstudios.itch.io/charlotte We didn't release it on STEAM only because of the adult content. We also put the price of $1 on the itch version only as a way of guarding against young kids downloading that game....
