Erroneously reads game name with / in name as a filepath
https://nattwentea.itch.io/looper when try to install via the app reports the following
Hi @GeorgeWL, I looked into this, and it seems like the slash in the name is just a coincidence. The bigger issue is that installing this game isn't terribly feasible, since the file is hosted on Google Drive. Upon purchase, the developer is sharing a link to a Google Drive folder that contains a pdf. I suspect they did this so that they could share it outside of itch, as well, and update it independently.
A better experience, in these cases, might be to share the url in the app, so that you can follow it yourself. That's not great, since it still means that you ultimately can't "install" it and keep it locally, but at least you'd be able to access it.
How does that sound to you?

Not ideal, but I guess it will have to do, also better than a not-super-helpful error message
