Hello! I'm a macOS user and am coming across this error:

I assume the game is trying to make a directory at a location on my computer with read-only permissions. Is there a way to circumvent this? Thank you!

Hello! One of my playtesters encountered the same issue but they were able to play the game as normal once they dragged the Game app outside of the folder and onto the Desktop! Maybe give that a try?

Unfortunately, dragging the Game app to the Desktop did not help

Just asked what the process was with the previous playtester- Could you try putting the extracted folder as a whole out to Desktop first and then drag the Game App out of that folder?

Alright! That worked. I put the entire zip folder in Desktop, then unzipped, then dragged only Game app outside the folder to Desktop. One minor error I immediately encountered while starting up the game was this however:

The menu showing New Shift / Continue showed for a few seconds then flickered to a black screen. But, I was able to simply reset the game and things are going smoothly so far.

Thanks for all your hard work and patience! Developing for Mac seems tricky for all the security and permissions stuff haha
