Had the same problem as BackAt50Ft. Debug version opens though. But when I want to interact with an npc, the dialog opens, but it's empty and I'm stuck. Will try on a Windows pc later.
Sound and art is very charming for what I've seen yet!
Could you please share your log when using debug version?
Edit: I think I solved your issue, please try now. Thanks for the bug description. Looks like it was because I wasn't exporting *.json files (dialogue) for Mac builds.
