Game Crash At Start Menu

[Fuma-Obake]

So a little while ago I purchased this game via Steam and was able to play it for a few days. Then, it decided to bug out on me and continually crash without reason. It happens only when I click on the start button to play the game at the main menu. All other buttons and functions work properly and without fail. I've registered my chache, re-installed the game a few times, and re-started my computer several times. Weird thing is that though this initially started on my M11X, I installed the game on my new M14X and the same issue occurs, even though the game had never been played on that computer before. I submitted a post on the Steam support forum detailing the same thing, but no one has been able to help me. I do recall shutting my computer while the game was running before it failed, but I had also done that before and it did not affect the game function at all.

Does anyone have any idea what might fix this?

Thanks for any help.
