Fascinating game! It looks a bit like Mysth. Sadly, I never played it, though. Sorry.
If it is using QuickTime, like Myst did, chances are good it could run in Windows 3.1 Standard Mode then.
Standard Mode (Win /2) is more robust, but sadly not all 256 colour drivers do support it.
Anyway, if you manage to tweak DOSBox a bit (>different SVGA), it could run good enough there.
PS: both VMware and virtualbox also crash trying to run this game.
As ZellSF said, we need to know a bit more about the details in order to help you.
Especially Windows 3.x Enhanced Mode is not very happy with modern x64 processors (not to mention Win32s).
If you can, try toggling the settings for AMD-V or Intel-VT. As far as I know, Win32s requires them.
Windows 98, however, seems to get unstable with them (have to double cfheck).
As a workaround, you could try to load EMM386. It did wonders with DOS-based VMs last time I checked.
Probably, because Real-Mode is hard to handle for virtualizers and EMM386 does switch the VM to V86 all the time.
Not sure how much this does help a Windows 3.1x VM, though. Maybe using the FastDisk driver or SmartDrive also has a similar effect.
Anyway, you could still trying to use Qemu with Kqemu. I did that long ago and it worked for me.

Edit: Why is this game rated USK 18 ? 😉
