When I double click either WhistleBlower.exe or WhistleBlower-32.exe (tried downloading both), nothing happens :( even in Task Manager

I uploaded a file (WhistleBlower-1.0-pc.zip) that will allow you to run the game. You have to run the exe.file from within the unzipped folder though. Thank you for wanting to try it out, I'm really excited to play Time is Solid Here!
