Same here.
To open a **.app** file on your Mac using **Finder**, follow these steps:

---

### **1. Locate the .app File**
- Open **Finder** and navigate to where the `.app` file is saved (e.g., `Downloads`, `Applications`, or a custom folder).
- **Note**: `.app` files are macOS applications and are designed to run directly.

---

### **2. Open the .app File**
- **Double-click** the `.app` file.
- *If this works*, the app will launch immediately.
- *If not*, you may see a security warning (see **Step 3** below).

---

### **3. Bypass Security Restrictions (If Blocked)**
macOS may block apps from unidentified developers. If you trust the app:
- **Right-click** (or **Ctrl** + click) the `.app` file.
- Select **Open** from the menu.
- Click **Open** in the pop-up warning to launch the app.
*(This only needs to be done once.)*

---

### **4. Adjust Security Settings (Optional)**
If the app is still blocked:
1. Go to **System Settings** (macOS Ventura or later) → **Privacy & Security**.
2. Under **Security**, check for a message like:
*"[App Name] was blocked..."*
Click **Open Anyway**.

*(For older macOS versions: Go to **System Preferences** → **Security & Privacy** → **General** tab.)*

---

### **5. Ensure the App is Not Corrupted**
- If the app still won’t open:
- Re-download the `.app` file (it might be incomplete or damaged).
- Verify the app is from a trusted source.

---

### **Troubleshooting Tips**
- **Move to Applications Folder**: Drag the `.app` file to your `Applications` folder and try launching from there.
- **Check Permissions**:
Right-click the `.app` → **Get Info** → Ensure "Read & Write" permissions are enabled under **Sharing & Permissions**.
- **Terminal Fix** (Advanced):
Open **Terminal** and run:
```bash
chmod +x /path/to/YourApp.app/Contents/MacOS/YourApp
```
Replace `/path/to/` with the actual location of the app.

---

Let me know if you need further help! ️

chatgpt response. after opening the file in finder go to resources there should be a vis file overwrite this. so basically the app you click to start the game is containg the files you just need to open it in another way

Help! Does anyone have a save before the last (41) scene with Jade? Who does this scene happen to? Nathan?

I have entered all available codes and downloaded the fix. I still can't get into the house at the very beginning with Drake. And now I've noticed that I have to enter the codes again every time I restart the game....
And yes, the codes were all activated.

Edit:
Now it works. You have to enter the codes while the game is running.

Just started this game, and quickly stuck with Drake. I exited the cellar and the walkthrough says to "Go back and enter House" but i don't have the option to enter the house. I can re-enter the cellar but the front door and window are inactive - and the spacebar doesn't show them as options. How do i open the front door and enter to speak to Lillian? searched this thread but can't find solution and tried restarting the game several times, always the same issue. I may be missing something obvious but can't figure it out!

Thanks, that worked, do i need to use the VIP and other codes?

The house building quest doesn't trigger when i speak to Gornah. do i need codes for that too?
You don`t need any other codes to progress the game. May you need to progress in other quests to trigger house building.
(Find place to build house, etc)
