I am a big stupid and i have no idea how to compile this because i have no idea what i am doing, does anyone have a compiled version laying around?

Actually, you wouldn't want just any compiled binary if it's linked against system libraries different from what you have. On NixOS for example it's not compatible with anything but itself. Not to mention that you might have different CPU architecture. This can also be a problem with every automatically built binary, even a statically linked one.

That just means that OpenTomb compiled for my computer almost certainly won't work on yours. In order to work it should be specifically built for your computer. Or you should employ some cross platform solution instead.
