Hello! I've installed Creatures: The Albian Years from GOG yesterday, and C1 ran smoothly, but I am facing a problem with C2; it starts normally, but when I get to the world, a black screen of some sort covers most of the view. I can see the world, but my vision of it is impaired by it. I've tried to move it, ALT-F4, going to the task manager, but nothing. It's like I know it's there but it isn't there (starts to feel like a Doctor Who episode).
I'm including a picture, and as you can see, there's nothing in the task bar that indicates something is there.
The OS is Windows 8.1 Preview (counts as Windows 8, i think)

That's a known issue in Windows 8. It's known as the "Black Box of Doom". You can make Creatures 2 playable again with a few tricks, more info here. :)
