Hello! Thank you for your interest!

Oh man, I have a mac too and I've been experiencing the same thing even with other visual novels ever since I upgraded to Sierra. The only way I manage to get them to work is to open them via the Ren'Py program. I drag and drop the whole folder onto the application, and it opens up just fine.

Sorry if I have no other workaround!

Eh... what do you mean it won't let you open Ren'Py? Hmm, you don't need to actually open Ren'Py if you're going the drag and drop trick. :)

2 ways:

  1. Install Ren'Py, make an alias on the desktop, and drag the whole game folder there. (This is the one that I personally do. This is also the easier one.)
  2. Install Ren'Py, open the application, open "preferences" at the lower right corner, then for "projects directory" select the folder where you have the game that you want to open. You can then click "Launch Project". (I can't do this one because I have a separate folder for my own created games that I use as my "projects directory". But when all else fails, I do employ this 'trick'.)
Sorry if I can't provide any other solution! As I said, I too have a mac with the newest update, Sierra, and these two solutions work perfectly fine for me. Even I still don't understand why I'm unable to open some Ren'Py games after the update, though.

Aaah, I'm sorry, I really don't know anymore. :( If even the Ren'Py thing doesn't work, you can try uninstalling it then reinstalling it again, maybe? Looking at your other comments though, perhaps there's something out of place with your os update? There are some games I couldn't open after updating to Sierra too, but these two tricks above have never failed me. :( Aside from them, I really have no other workarounds. I'm so sorry!
