I play on mac and ive been having issues for months opening the game. I try and open it by clicking on the icon and it does not load, it states that 
"You do not have permission to open the application “Tales Of Androgyny Mac-1”.

Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance."

I give permission to read and write on all accounts (even tho im the only one) and still the message pops up. I allowed app downloaded from everywhere in the privacy settings, ive also just tried to load the .jar file and it looks like it is about to run but nothing happens. I though I saw somewhere were there was an error where the you had to change the resolution or something in the files so it wouldnt go full screen but I did that and still nothing. I was able to play older versions of this but up to a few months ago the newer versions just dont work on Mac and i dont know what to do. I am beyond frustrated because I havent been able to play the new contect. I even completely reset my computer to see if there was an issue, still nothing. any advice or help?

Binary files can make it on your machine without the execute permission. It's the underlying executable that launches the application. It's location is within /path/to/SomeApp.app/Contents/MacOS/executable. Without the execute permission to execute it, it won't execute. The fix on your end is to launch the Terminal application, type the chmod command / program with options that reflect you want to append the execute flag, in addition to the path to the file to make those changes on
