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.
It does work now. But I have to play it later tonight. Thanks for the fast reply/fixing!
I finally managed to play it now. Very relaxing experience and theo soundscape is great.
Also very cute pixel art and well written dialogs. Good job!
