There is a way to play the mac version without the itch app :/


Right-click the App > Show Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Lo-Fi Room file > Click the file 2 times

When you open the Lo-Fi Room file it might give you an error, to fix this:

System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General > Open Anyway

If you see random letters in the file, that's fine. Just close the file. All you have to do is make it an executable. To do this:

Open Terminal

After opening terminal add this code: chmod +x  (Lo-Fi Room file) (Before the file and the code add a space. like adding a space every time you separate words in a sentence)

If you see the file looking differently good job 👏. You can open the app! 

tl;dr, Just know how to see inside and app and how to open it if apple can't identify any malware. And also know how to make a file into an executable. aka code

I have a video about this: 

(the app is not Lo-Fi Room but it's the same procedures.)

(NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS SEE THE FILE. AKA DON'T CLOSE THE PACKAGE CONTENTS)

Hi, thanks so much for taking the time to write out an explanation on how to open the game without using the itch app and sharing your video :)
