HEY MAC USERS! Word of advice to get this game to work; it's a loooooong process but it runs the same as it should!

Firstly! You need to be using zsh as your default shell script. Don't know how to do it? https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT208050. This bitch shows you easy, only change the script shell, it'll be fine, your computer won't shut you out if it goes as it should.

Right click on the app with the icon, it should show a 'Show Package Contents' option. Click that, go into Contents, go into MacOS, and be prepared to click like a crazy person.

I recommend having your Security & Privacy preferences open and authorised to make changes, because this will be a looooong process. Your Mac's security protocol regards every. Single. Piece. Of this game. To be a risk of Malware. So you need to click on that exe file in the MacOS folder you have open and be ready!

You're going to double click that, and and it's going to say 'can't run this program. Move to bin?' SAY CANCEL, THEN LOOK AT YOUR OPEN SECURITY & PRIVACY PREFERENCES WINDOW.

You'll see, in that window, an option that basically says 'we don't trust this process, because it could be Malware'. Tell it to 'Allow Anyway'. Then keep doing this for every single file it has to run to get it to work. 

It'll either open a 'can't run, move to bin?' option, in which case press 'Cancel' and immediately look at your Security Preferences and select 'Allow Anyway'. Key note: FOR EVERY SINGLE CANCEL ON THIS WINDOW YOU CLICK, IMMEDIATELY MOVE TO YOUR SYSTEM PREFERENCES AND SELECT ALLOW ANYWAY, EVEN IF ANOTHER WINDOW POPS UP.

The other window that pops up basically asks 'are you sure you want to run this?'. Tell it to Open.

If you do this long enough, you'll start to see your Mac basically assembling the puzzle pieces it can use to run this game. And you'll tell if it's done when the game just opens, ready to use. Message me with any questions if you get lost, and I hope this helps!!!!

Do you know how to work it on Windows?? I extracted the files then when I clicked the application with the little picture of a red haired person. It says "Could not execute" then at the end it says "Is it missing?" and I don't know what I did wrong. :( Please help

Im having trouble at the end part where you have the security and privacy preferences window. When i put cancel and look at the other window I doesn't say anything. I was wondering if you could help me with that part? 

Do you have it unlocked and ready for changes? After you click cancel on one task process, it should appear if you have it unlocked.

It'll appear in the 'General' tab, underneath the 'Allow Apps downloaded from:' bit.

Heya! So, got another piece of advice from another game on this site about Mac Catalina users. Go to the Mac game file that I said in my instructions, inside the package contents, and open Terminal. Type 'cmod +x' and tap space to leave a gap. Then, drag the MacOS game file onto the end of the command and it should create a file path. Activate that command, and it should start the game no problem. If this doesn't work, try downloading the game again and trying it on an unaltered version. Hopefully this helps.

are the annoying windows that keep popping up on top of eachother the ones that are being assembled?? with the text and shit

Yep

i need help- im not sure what im supposed to do once i click on the MacOS folder- it only shows a .exe and when i click on it nothing happens except a terminal showing up??? :(

Thanks
