been playing on android for awhile but its starting to get annoying with load times sometimes or crashing randomly while not often it still does. So I was windering if anyone found a way to launch it on mac, because the whole reason I play it on android is due to it not working on mac

I don't know how Majalis is building the game but I don't think the Mac version has ever worked; it's missing some crucial component to make it run and all the permissions are fucked up, and I've just given up reporting it as an issue.

If you want to play on Mac you need to install Java; the version I'm using is Adopto OpenJDK, which works better than the version from Oracle, you can download that here: https://adoptopenjdk.net

Once you've done that you don't need the Mac application at all, just the .jar file, which you can either download on its own (though it's not always available for every build) or you can extract it from the Mac or Windows app; for the Mac app just right click on the app in the Finder and choose "Show package contents" and the .jar file is in Contents or resources somewhere, just drag it out somewhere you can find it. With OpenJDK installed you should then be able to just double click the .jar file to play.

Hello, so I've downloaded the Adopto OpenJDK, but I don't know if I have to delete the other version of Java. And, if do how would I go about doing that? I honestly have no idea how any of this stuff works, but have been looking through trying to figure out how to get the game to even start. I've seen your posts and just need clarity on what all I should do from this point. 

I got it to work, when your try to launch it will say at least on the itch client for mac, it will give you the option to open in finder, do that and then click on the game's folder, you'll see one file, you will right click it and show package contents, open the contents folder then click on the resources folder and the one that says TalesOfAndrogyny.jar, click it and it should launch the game
