A developer of another game gave me the solution. I have to say that with every Mac Unity game, let's say 10/20 games, I had to perform this solution every time.

I actually got it working, but it isn't plug and play!
Step 1: Open terminal
Step 2: type chmod +x
Step 3: Drag the file you find in: "Left click on the game -> Show package contents -> MacOS" to the terminal and press ''enter''.
(!) Dont't use ''enter'' between the chmod +x command and the file you want to drag.
This will make the file an executable file, which makes it possible to boot up the game.
The problem is that the Mac doesn't recognise the executable file on default.

~ % chmod +x
usage: chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a [i][# [ n]]] mode|entry file ...
chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-E | -C | -N | -i | -I] file ...
~ % /Users/..../Desktop/TheProfessional.app/Contents/MacOS/The\ Professional
zsh: permission denied: /Users/..../Desktop/TheProfessional.app/Contents/MacOS/The Professional
This is what I get, the game still won't open :(
I appreciate your effort trying to help me
Sure no problem! I think the problem indeed lays in the fact that MacOS can't find a file format or program to execute to start the game. I'll keep you updated if I find the solution.
Keep me also updated if you find a solution. This could let a lot of games run on MacOS that now seem incompatible, despite having a Mac build.
I get: ''The app FadingSoulsMacSilicon can't be opened.'' And I get: Safari can't open the file 'FadingSoulsMacSilicon' because there is no app available to open it with.
I still haven't solved this for any of the games nor do I know a developer who solved it after my remark. I appreciate the effort you put into this!
This is what I get when entering the prescribed code in Terminal (Mac):
~ % cd /Users/marwan/Downloads
cd TheProfessional.app/Contents/MacOS
chmod +x TheProfessional.app/Contents/MacOS/The\ Professional
chmod: TheProfessional.app/Contents/MacOS/The Professional: No such file or directory
I'm using Apple Silicon M1 with MacOS Ventura.
