It only says that it can't be opened? Sounds like the file type may not be compatible with Mac. Have you tried it with multiple games? It could just be one developer's error in formatting a distributable for OS X. Can you screenshot the error, give information on the file type, etc?
Viewing post in mabook downloads not working??
i've tried a few different games to check..it still continued to give the same error. i've made sure that i downloaded the macbook version each time i'd try a game but same error would pop up. i don't know a lot about video game files but they either end in _osx or something along the lines of 1.2-mac.zip or 1.0-mac.zip.
Alright I just fired up my Mac to try and help you figure this out. I downloaded the game and got the same problem. What kind of mac do you have? When i look at the file info of helltaker, it says it is an "Application (Intel)" which makes me think it may not run on apple silicon chips such as M1, M2, etc. is that the kind of mac you have? If you don't know, go up in your left corner, click the apple, and his "About this Mac". If it says anything other than Apple Intel, it's possible that the application can't be run because it was designed specifically for Macs that run Intel processors.
I'm a PC guy, and just happen to have a mac to try to help you troubleshoot on, so hopefully I'm wrong and someone else can chime in and help, but from what I'm seeing it looks like it was designed for the architecture of Intel processors only. I also see in the project files that it was made with Unity, so maybe Unity doesn't support export to apple chips, or maybe the developer needs to create a different distributable to be run on Mac's with the apple chips.
The above link says Unity ended support for these apple chips, but it may have just been the M1, as the M2 and i think M3 are also available now.
Sorry, I wish I had better news but it looks like Unity builds a file type that only runs on Intel Macs.
If your Mac is Intel based and it still doesn't work, I'm not too sure
