Been having an issue since previous version 0.4.4.

On MacOS Monterey 12.7.6

1st issue:
Trying to open Game.app throws a pop-up error "This application 'Game.app' can't be opened."
Was able to fix this by unzipping the file with The Unarchiver instead of the built-in Archive Utility.

2nd issue:
Upon starting the game, the application window throws the error:

UnknownError
Error: EROFS: read-only file system, open '/private/var/folders/nq/sdr8b51d2dv_m7lk3q5hz04h0000gp/T/AppTranslocation/9F0E5CA3-CBB2-4DBC-B3E4-584CE6F02838/d/Game.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw/save/config.rpgsave'

Things I've tried:

- using chmod to turn Game.app into an executable

- moving the folder Thread0.5.1Mac to the Desktop instead of Applications

- manually adding blank folder and file /save/config.rpgsave to the app package

Sorry you are having issues. MacOS problems are hard for me to troubleshoot as I only have linux and windows for testing. I'll do some research and see if I can figure something out for that version of MacOS.

In the meantime, I recommend the web version.

I appreciate it! I've been playing the web version with my friends, but we've had it freeze or crash when buying certain items or during some scene transitions >w< I'll start having a friend stream it from their windows machine.

cool, I was about to check if there were issues for new update. but ig it's just timezone difference.
