So, I downloaded the game and it says that the application can't be opened. Do I need a certain application downloaded to launch the game, because i'm unsure of why it won't launch. I'm on a mac btw.

Not sure, some macs seem to have this problem for some reason. Might have to do with file permissions? You can check to see if anyone else has found a solution:

I looked at various sites trying to find a fix but couldn't find anything useful, as the main issue I saw was people porting a game from windows to mac, but since I am downloading the file directly from mac, the issue may be different. Could it maybe be that the version of mac is what makes it work or not? I'm on Catalina 10.15.5. Or maybe I need to download RPG maker to have it work properly? I'm unsure.

Okay so I may have found the solution. I found this video that explained that the reason it would not work was because the file "Game" was missing the executable file it needed to launch the game. After running a certain command in my Terminal, I was finally able to launch the game, but now, nothing shows up. The game is apparently running, as I see it open on my desktop, but there is nothing to interact with. Here is the video I found. This video shows the problem I had before, but not the new problem.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9TtoOJjGpU

Oh, no need to pick up rpg maker mv. Lust doll plus is made in rpg maker mv, so the solutions that apply to that program should theoretically work for LD+. Glad you could get it running, but oof at the new problem.

One other possibility is to just play the browser version, though you'll have to be very careful about not clearing your cache (which is where your save would be contained) https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/732699

I usually do use the browser version, but I wanted to try to download it. One thing I notice that is different is that in the video I linked there are two files in the MacOS folder, but seeing as how this issue is limited to few macs, I would assume that isn't the problem, but I wouldn't put it out of the question, so perhaps it's the lack of a Launcher.dat file or something. But here is to hoping that I can find a solution to this new problem as well. Thank you for helping out!

So I looked closer after writing this, and I noticed that the "versions" folder has some files related to the "nwjs" file in MacOS which needs to be turned into an executable. Maybe that could be the issue? I'm unsure, you'd likely know more, regardless, thank you for the help where you could.

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with Macs, so don't actually know as much as you might think! Sorry I couldn't help. If you figure out a solution, please let me know so that I can pass the information on!

Gotcha, if anything comes up, i'll let you know. It could just be that the latest version of MacOS doesn't work with the game, like how it broke many games on steam :p
