I recently had to fix this issue for another user, so I know what to do.
It does not have the proper permission to run.
So you'll have to give it permission with chmod in the terminal like so

chmod a+x [GAME]/Contents/MacOS/*

however, the person which also had this issue mentioned that this works:

 chmod a+x DOGMA/MacOS.app/0.2+.app/Contents/MacOS/*

And then disable the gatekeeper to open the app.

The reason that this happens is because archiving it in a .rar or any other archive formats removes the permissions from the .app file.

This issue is already known by Dia, but I'm not sure if he'll be able to fix it

That did not work, nothing changed. I am still getting the error.

I know that it's not the game's fault as aside from the lack of permissions it all works fine according to other MacOS users

maybe there was a failure in the download process and thanks to that the data is incorrect.
Try redownloading it, and if that doesn't work, then I don't know what does.

I packed the game in a tar archive, check it out
cuz > {The zip format doesn't have easy support for Unix-like file permissions, so your transfer process is stripping any permission flags that OSX uses to recognize files within that zip that are supposed to be executable. This can also happen with other file transfer solutions, so it's something to watch out for.

The best solution would be to create an archive which does keep those permissions, such as a tar archive.}
