I'm having trouble opening the mac version. I downloaded and was able to extract the 7z file, but when I click on the icon it just says "The application “HeadlinerNoviNews” can’t be opened." Any advice?

Hey Adam, sorry about the problem, that is the first time we're getting a report of this I believe. Does it give you any other errors? Does it say anything if you try to open it via terminal/command line?

Also, what Mac version do you have?

I'm also having this problem, Terminal returns:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed for the application /Applications/HeadlinerNoviNews.app with error -10810.

10.12.6

Sorry about the issues everyone, we'll work on updating the Itch version soon and let everyone know.

OK we uploaded a new build, can you guys give it a go and let us know if it works?

New build works. Thank you!!

Edit: Adjusted some settings after the update, and the game ran like a dream! This is fantastic, and so much more than I expected going in. If you're at all interested in the role of the press, this game is thought provoking and surprisingly deep. Give it a shot, I stayed up until 4 in the morning with this, and am looking forward to replaying it to explore more story options!

I downloaded the new build and I am still experiencing the same issue, with the message: "The application "HeadlinerNoviNews" can't be opened."

I'm on OSX version 10.15.4!

Copying what elainazk said:

"It might be a problem with your security settings and using non-apple store apps. If you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and allow the app manually it should run. I'm still on High Sierra so not sure if this will work for a more recent OS."

I actually tried this before this reply, when I saw elainazk's response. That error doesn't mean permission problem, as the actual application doesn't even show up in Security settings as an option to manually run. Running it through Terminal doesn't work either.

I also downloaded the new build and have the message "The application "HeadlinerNoviNews" can't be opened." There's no security permission it doesn't have (I checked) and it doesn't run from the terminal.

Miguel,

First, can you make sure you UNZIP the .zip file (which has the .app inside). Next can you try this: "It might be a problem with your security settings and using non-apple store apps. If you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and allow the app manually it should run. I'm still on High Sierra so not sure if this will work for a more recent OS."

I unziped the file, and got the app. I tried to run it, and it game the error. I went to the definitions and gave them. And tried to run the game again and the same error appeared.
Next I tried to run the game from the terminal and error -10810 appeared.
