Still not working unfortunately. Says "You do not have permission".
In the terminal, once I enter those 2 commands, it says "Password: (insert "key" imaged)"... but when I enter my password (I'm assuming for my login info on my Mac?), it says "incorrect password"
EDIT: I can't get it to work at all now. Tried a few different things, and now when I enter the 1st command, it just says "file not found".

-rc /Users/xxx/Desktop/love_of_magic_book2 => this assumes that you've unzipped the app on the Desktop. If you had it somewhere else instead you'd need to change it to that.
The first command,
xattr -rc removes the

. This is added by the OS when an exe is unzipped, and prevents it from running.
Let's break down the second command:
sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/xxx/Desktop/love_of_magic_book2
You must be registered to see the links
=> this means "run this command as admin" (and is why it wants your password to confirm that you're sure about running as administrator)

=> change the file permission. In this case we're adding
-R 755 => ensures the file is now an executable
/Users/xxx/Desktop/love_of_magic_book2 => location of file.

Unfortunately Mac OS is increasingly becoming hostile to anything not bought through the AppStore, so this process is likely to become a common issue for you. As an aside, if you get the game on Steam it'll work out of the box on OSX.
