Just downloaded the Mac version and the app won't start. Nothing happens after I double-click on the icon. Does anyone know a solution?
Two things might have gone wrong:
  • the app is quarantined by Gatekeeper because it's from an unknown developer;
  • the executable inside the app might have lost its execute permission during unzipping
To check quarantine, start Terminal and type "xattr " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the MidnightParadise app into the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Mind there is a space between the command and said path. Hit enter. If you see com.apple.quarantine in the results, the app is quarantined.
To remove the quarantine, type "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " and drag the app again into the window. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be removed.

To check the second case, you need to look into the contents of the app: right click on the MidnightParadise app and pick Show package contents. Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/. Inside that folder you'll see a file MidnightParadise. That file should be a Unix executable. If it's anything else, it has lost its execute permission.
To fix this, start Terminal and type "chmod a+x " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the MidnightParadise file inside the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. The file should now be executable.

As a general precaution, make a duplicate of the app first before changing its attributes or permissions.

So is some hero going to Android this bad boy? Someone posted a link to one five or six pages back but that site looked sketchy as hell. Has anyone else actually downloaded from that link?

Keep your calm, it's not that big of a deal.

I never particularly followed this game, I don't know what precisely happened so I can't judge. All I did was play it 2 years ago, thought it was good, and played it a second time a few days ago. I thought that the content that was added compared to my last time playing it was okayish for 2 years, not great but certainly not particularly subpar compared to other devs on this site. I will disagree on DoD having some story and this one no, I think it's about the same, but that's my opinion (and yours).

"Almost 5 full years" = barely more than 4 since it was announced early 2019, ok. Were you the one trying to talk about maths ?

Dude you have 10+ thousand messages on an adult game site, it's pretty clear the kind of coomer you are. Get out sometimes instead of spending your time playing and talking about porn games, anticipating every single update and counting them all.
He was working on the game since July 2018.Took him more than half year to produce first update that can't be even called a demo.

I haven't played through the game from beginning again yet but I have the gallery unlocked and didn't see those. Are they not available to view through the gallery?
The booty calls and elite scenes, yes. The bathroom scenes no because are repeatable sandbox scenes

:rolleyes: Wow! Someone couldn't be any more wrong. A lot of people complained about not having sex with the mom already [fact] If you had bother reading a few pages back you would have known this, so your statement is completely false.

Not really people only complain about content they want that isn't in the game so if people already have their content they don't complain ergo less posts just becuase you see posts about the Mom alot doesn't means that they are the majority of people/players in fact the nature of forums is the most vocal complainers is usually the minority basically if people don't have something to complain about the vast majiorty don't make a post.

think of like leaving a review for a food place you just ate at most people don't give two shits to make a review unless A, The service was so bad and tremble or B, the service was so great and beyond anything normally expected but even then the majority of people don't even bother to leave a review at all cause they can't be bothered which means you end up with more complaints then good reviews its the nature of humans we are mostly only very vocal when you piss us off other then that if we're content we just go on a way with no fuss

For those stuck in Step 39 / Step 40 / "watch tv alone" :
The mod's broken. Simply right-click "Objectives". Guess what? You have to advance Isabel's story. Not sure how much, though, it's usually the mod that tells you that

The sarcasm went right over your head, eh?
