I've installed the game here on Steam and am able to bring up the launcher for the game, but once I click play and the launcher closes, the screen will turn black for half a second, as though it's about to start the game, but then it immediately crashes. I've tried everything from changing compatibility to checking the DirectPlay thing in legacy features. Can anyone please help me figure out what keeps making the game crash before it can even start? I am using a windows 10 laptop in case anyone is wonderin.

Those caught in the shadows' clutches are driven to madness, haunted by their worst fears and tormented by ghastly apparitions. Some claim to have heard eerie laughter echoing through the trees, cruel and mocking. But it is not just the shadows that pose a threat; the thorns in the forest are equally treacherous. Sharp as daggers, they line the paths, waiting to ensnare any who step too close. The thorns cut deep into the flesh, poisoning the wound with their venomous touch. Many have fallen prey to these twisted guardians, their bodies found mangled and lifeless. In an attempt to lift the curse, brave adventurers have ventured into the forest, armed with weapons and spells. Some have sought to destroy the entity at the heart of the curse, while others have simply sought answers. But none have succeeded. The forest remains a forbidden, foreboding place, its secrets locked away, hidden within its depths. The curse of shadows and thorns serves as a reminder of the power of darkness and the precarious balance between light and shadow. It stands as a warning to those who would dare to delve into the unknown, to those who seek to uncover secrets best left untouched. For within the curse lies a reminder of the ever-present danger, lurking just beyond the edge of our understanding..

I couldn't connect with any of the characters and found their motivations to be unrealistic. The world-building was weak and left many questions unanswered. I regret picking up this book and would urge others to stay away from it.
