Slightly confused. Is this not playable on mac? ;__; I don't see the apple-symbol on any of the files.

You probably can play Idleness on mac since the build contains an .app file, but Ren'py games had some issues running on macs a few years ago so I don't officially list mac support on my commercial games. I don't want people to spend money on something only to discover it doesn't work, and I don't have the time to troubleshoot it.
You can download one of my free VNs and see if it runs on mac. If it does then Idleness should run without issues too.
Hmmm, well I do have this world unknown on steam and it worked well last time I played it on my macbook – although it's gotten quite old so games don't run well on it as they used to – but I get it! Troubleshooting sounds troublesome (no pun intended haha), so I appreciate your honesty! I've been really interested in these two characters thus why I really wanted to play the game *-*
I'll look up one of your free games to see how well they run on this mac and decide after that :)
You'll have to tell me how it works, since I've received conflicting reports... Some people on Mac are saying the Mac builds work perfectly while other people are struggling to open them...
Granted the people who are struggling seem to only have problems with a couple of my free VNs on Itchio for some reason 😔
Yep, it was the .app file but for some reason it won't open. The symbol for the game pops up a split second when I try to launch the app, but it also disappears just as swiftly without anything else showing up on screen. I did however notice that I got a steam key with my purchase so I'm going to try launch it through that and see if I'll have any better luck there :)
The Steam version of Idleness is 100% identical to the Itchio version, so if the Itchio version doesn't work I'm doubtful that the Steam version would. I can try and take another look at it later, but as I don't have a Mac it will be more or less impossible for me to troubleshoot any issues on my own.
