I managed to play the game 3 hours when i bought it many years ago. Then suddenly i couldnt play it.. that was 3 years ago. There was a thread on the forum mentioning this same problem.. No reply from the devs and the game still doesnt start 3 years later. Have to put a thumbs down on this! The game doesnt work..
