Once you download it, right click and select "extract files". It will prompt you to pick a place to extract to, and it's recommended that you don't rabbit hole too far down your files when doing so (e.g., stick with a folder, rather than a folder within a folder within a folder, etc.). Once it's complete, navigate to wherever you chose and open the folder, then run "Criminalintent.exe". If windows defender blocks it, select "more info" at the top, which will reveal a "run anyway" button at the bottom.
I cant seem to get it to work, i am on MAC and have downlaoded the mac version, but when i click it it gives me the option to move it to the bin or cancel opening it
I had this problem for a second, I thought it was my Dad's parental controls, but you only need to go to privacy settings. For me it wouldn't open because it wasn't by App Store or a verified Dev, but when in settings it showed that I tried opening the CS game and gave me the option to boot it! I hope that works for you, I unfortunately don't know how to permanently change the settings though D:
That's weird. What software is it? If it's just Windows saying it defended your computer by not running it, there should be a "run anyway" button at the bottom.
loved the game graphics are great and the charaters had depth to them the addition that i died at the end was the best of all endings that could had been made. 10/10 best game out there.
This was really fun to play, i really enjoyed the little story. Controls were a bit stiff, also kept getting confused with my journal. Overall a neat little parody that i think could be built into a bigger parody game.
Hey, I just downloaded the game and I tried to load it up and it gives me a "fatal error: failed to load mono" message. I have disabled Windows Defender and tried to see if that works, as well as trying to run the unity crash handler, but nothing seems to work. I have a very old computer, so maybe that's the issue. Could it just be that my computer can't run the game?
I doubt that your computer is the issue. Did you extract it to a really long folder path, by any chance? I found this suggestion from somebody else having the same error:
"I discovered another cause of this problem and solution. If your game is zipped and you extract it to a folder that is too long -- but still unzips fine -- this error can pop up. I believe it's due to the game accessing the data folder and mono.dll within its sub-folders... and somehow this access cannot be too deep in the directory structure. Move the game to a less long folder and it will work -- IF this was your problem in the first place."
honestly, i don't blame isadore. the mayor deserved it. wish she didn't kill me but like. it's fair. this game was so funny though thank you for making it.
Hi! I have a windows 10 and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the game to open. It wont let me open it and I dont know what to do lol
I'm not sure, I extracted the files but I wasnt sure what to open after that. I kept getting 'windows protected your computer' instead of anything else that'll open
If you were able to extract the files, you should see a folder called "Creature Street" where you extracted them to, then a file called "Criminal Intent" inside that folder. If Windows is saying it protected your computer, that probably means you have security settings not allowing you to launch executables from unknown sources. You should maybe be able to click "Run anyway" on that screen, or follow the directions in this video to turn it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gIqcSKOZTs I don't know if I recommend that. Maybe turn it back on after you play our game.
If you're on a Windows PC, just right-click the ZIP file and hit "extract" then pick a location. Then browse to that location and run "Criminal Intent.exe"
If you're on a Mac, hang tight and maybe we'll have a Mac version before too long.
It's jaw-dropping that a wholesome game like Animal Crossing has such a twisted real world turn to it. Hilarious game, with that immature humor I just love. After playing, I have to say I agree with my first statement. Totally a FAN GAME, not a knock off. YOUTUBER: Maya, The Bubble E1 (subscribe today to keep murderous Animal Crossing villagers at bay!)
I'm glad you guys weren't a knock off. Bad knock offs are funny, but they're also kinda just low-res theft. Your game was definitely had comedic commentary, and it wasn't even the same game.
I just wanted to say that I'm enjoying all of your games, and that I appreciate all the effort that you put into making them. I hope you are staying safe, and doing well.

It worked! Thanks alot!!!
Amazingggg if you could do a sequel it would perfect. Loved it!

Sorry, I can't offer any Mac support, as I don't even have one. Hopefully somebody else with more experience can chime in and help you. :(
You need to right click, then select open.

ok im cackling i love this
Hi! My PC is very old, the game is available for 32 bits? Thanks!!
Well, we went back and made a Mac version, I suppose I could look into a 32-bit one tonight. I'll post here again if we build one successfully
Wow, I really appreciate it!! Thank you!!! <3
For some reason my pc's protection software won't let me run it
That's weird. What software is it? If it's just Windows saying it defended your computer by not running it, there should be a "run anyway" button at the bottom.
the same thing happened to me and there is no run anyway button ): how to fix?
nvm i fixed it <3
In case you're curious why this got popular, there was a thread on twitter: https://twitter.com/cuteghosts/status/1258328176620699649
Game was really weird but I loved it
I thought I was playing new horizons the entire time, truly an amazing game, this could rival nintendo.
please make it for mac
Hello!
We've uploaded a mac version that we're hoping works. Please give it a shot!
loved the game graphics are great and the charaters had depth to them the addition that i died at the end was the best of all endings that could had been made. 10/10 best game out there.
Very wholesome animal crossing parody! Would recommend for any animal crossing fan! Definitely NO murder and death penalty... hehe :)
This was really fun to play, i really enjoyed the little story. Controls were a bit stiff, also kept getting confused with my journal. Overall a neat little parody that i think could be built into a bigger parody game.
Hi i'm a dummy and I really don't know how to install these kinda games what do I do after downloading the zip file?
First, you need to download a program that can extract the .zip file, I recommend WinRar: https://www.win-rar.com/postdownload.html?&L=0
After you install WinRar, right click on the .zip file and hit 'Extract'. Once it's extracted, open up the folder and launch CriminalIntent.exe
when is the one for macbook coming out??
About ten minutes ago! But we don't have Macs so we can't test it ourselves. Hope it works!

Hi! I have a windows 10 and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the game to open. It wont let me open it and I dont know what to do lol
It won't let you? Were you able to extract the ZIP file?
I'm not sure, I extracted the files but I wasnt sure what to open after that. I kept getting 'windows protected your computer' instead of anything else that'll open
I didn't see anything called ZIP file but I did extract something

I don't know if I recommend that. Maybe turn it back on after you play our game.
I managed to do it! Thank you so much :))
what do i do after i download like how do i get the game to open
If you're on a Windows PC, just right-click the ZIP file and hit "extract" then pick a location. Then browse to that location and run "Criminal Intent.exe"
If you're on a Mac, hang tight and maybe we'll have a Mac version before too long.
the only thing this game is missing is a sequel

Thanks very much! We have no idea why people think parody and knock-off are the same thing
