I just saw your update about the mac build and I am OVERJOYED. Can’t wait to play the games with Yuel and Tavi. Thank you!😊🥹

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 😔

Oh no, I hope that doesn’t happen to me🥹 I’ll let you know when I’ve played it! Fingers crossed that it will run smoothly on my macbook🫶🏼

Sooo an update here! Good and bad news: To have and to hold worked perfectly fine on my mac but Ephemera won't even open and I have no idea why :'( Basically the free game worked while the game I payed for sadly does not work. Huge bummer. I was really looking forward to playing that one too...

Are you opening the .app file? If you try to launch the .exe it won't work on Mac, as the .exe file is the Windows build.
I've had a few people report that my Mac builds don't work on Itchio, but it always turned out to be that the person was trying to open the wrong file.

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.

Happy to report that it worked *-* I finished reading the whole thing in one swoop! Gosh I love the dynamics between these two, now I wanna read unluckily in love up next! I did recently purchase My confunding cat though, so maybe I'll start with that one first~

I'm glad to know you were able to get it working! And I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
