Short and sweet game about exploring one android's mindscape through a collectathon of files, their organization of stimuli and all... It sure is one way to appreciate the lively challenges both of neurodiversity + queer-ness individuals and sapient AI "instruments" likewise to Ava, the synthetic-tier android character you are helping on in there.

Ava Lookbook Sticker1

Ava, a aryan Austrian-Shoshoni blonde synthetic-tier android woman, pondering on your very side as you play through one of her RTTY ports' broadcast program. (Artwork done by a ally of mine, @peachsomnia , as available on Instagram )

This demo is part of my constructed world / desired reality as a interactive demonstration, which also is a submission for the "Do you WANNA Jam?! 2024", starting off as a simple mindful collectathon, to incorporate speculative history-relevant filesystem functionalities, landmarks, localized music (available hopefully soon in multiple languages as far as textual dialogs & spoken lyrics are concerned) and some more enticing interactive game mechanics soon as I move it from Môsi (to PixelBox?) into Unity, Nu (F# / F-Sharp game engine) & Godot.

The demo and source file "archive" is also here as to gather constructive feedback, improve such iteratively towards its intended goals and get some testing done for my upcoming vast tileset, with preview rendition available in the download page.

Thank you so much, the same could be said for you as per your assets’. I am still iterating on the Godot remaster of this software toybox, with quite a couple new ideas to integrate as I dive deep into historical research & my own worldbuilding overall. Will try better at introducing such at a slower pace & more immersively.
Cute animated sprite to be featured in my next demo
For the moment though this android sketch will do.

Weird, where do you encounter such a error? In the main page? Inside the browser game runtime? On the downloads page? It is hard to debug that when I have next to no info to work from.
Edit1: I don’t find any match where such string would be in the whole codebase. Perhaps it might be from Itch.io’s hosting end as I have personally seen some access shortages (on my hardened Firefox in Canada) outside the dedicated app online in the past few weeks.
Edit2: After lurking some to see which platform you are on (Apple macOS), I am not really that surprised (definitely not pleased, over Apple walled garden that is). While I currently don’t know how to fix such macOS web runtime query yet, I will take a look into such as to to make it work for macOS hopefully soon (likely but not guaranteed to make a properly signed macOS native-ish port of such once I reach the Godot phase). Either way, your comment is very well appreciated.

Whatever you did, it worked. I can see and run the game now. 

Amazing, glad it now does for you!
