HansAlRachid: My game is also not working - when I try to launch it, the process just cancels itself. I'm on Windows 10 though.
The only advice I found recommended changing the Details settings of the SKALD application itself, but I can't seem to find any kind of executable in the installation folder either.
I'll refund the game for now, but if anyone has a hunch what might be going on, I'd appreciate advice.
Hello, not being able to find the executable within the game folder itself is a bit of a tell. I'll assume that you didn't overlook it by mistake, because it certainly should be present. It's should be in the main directory, named "SKALD Against the Black Priory(.exe)." If it is indeed missing as you say, then something appears to have gone wrong during installation, so it may not be an error with the game itself.
Somebody reported a similar issue to you, but this was in 2021 on Steam when only the demo was available. This individual had the error persist: that the game was unable to launch, and that the executable was missing, even when uninstalling and redownloading the game. The solution to this was to perform a system restart between uninstalling and reinstalling. You could try this, whilst also removing the data at the directory listed below.
Second, at the that directory two text files named "Player" and "Player-prev" should hopefully have been created: C:\Users\[User]\AppData\LocalLow\High North Studios\SKALD_ Against the Black Priory.
If they exist, my only recommendation would be to contact the developer personally with these files on hand and a description of the error. Reason being that with a cursory search I couldn't find anyone else with an identical issue other than what I stated above.
