Most common causes are the game being quarantined by Gatekeeper, and/or the executable inside the app is missing its execute permission.i just downloaded the s3 interlude on Mac. Any idea why i can't open the game tho?
Check for quarantine first: in Terminal, type "xattr " (without quotes) and then drag the game app in the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Mind there's a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. If you see com.apple.quarantine in the results, the game is quarantined.
To remove quarantine, type "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " in Terminal and again drag the app in the window. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be gone.
To repair the execute permission if necessary, see this post: https://f95zone.to/threads/being-a-dik-interlude-season-3-dr-pinkcake.25332/post-7687869
