Is the app is in your homefolder (such as Downloads for example), and not in a folder that belongs to the system ?
An administrator is still limited on what he can do outside of his home folder. Granting Full disk access might indeed help here. As last resort, put sudo before the chmod command, as mentioned by Kingtom13 in his post.
If he selects full disk access for terminal and run command in terminal with admin privileges it should work no matter in which folder is app located.which is basically what you stated

It's in the downloads, I typically just extract it from the zip then click to play. There's no request to grant full disk access nor is it present in security and privacy section.

I allowed terminal full disk access redid it and still "Permission denied" did the sudo thing it asked for my password, placed the password and still "Permission denied".

Granted I've been downloading the file from Mega, I haven't tried downloading it from other links in the description. Maybe I should try other links in the hopes that maybe it might be different from mega?

Check file flags
ls -lO ~/Starperiphery if you see uchg
Then run
sudo chflags nouchg ~/Starperiphery

thnen run xattr again
If issue persists its SIP protection google how to turn it off -courtessy of apple...

and yes source of files like mega can cause quarantine issue...

Using ls -lO (path to app) will indeed give more useful information, such as current permissions, ownership etc. You can run it on the starperiphery executable found in /Contents/MacOS as well. Please list the results.

It never hurts of trying a fresh download, and when unzipping, use The Unarchiver instead of the build-in archive utility.

Also Mharzel which version of MacOs are you on ?

Apologies if it's already been asked and answered, but slogging through 300+ pages to find the answer is a bit much - what program were the background renders made in? I don't think I've ever seen a visual novel with this level of detail and atmosphere in the renders.

First off I don't know what I'm doing but I ran -lO ~/Starperiphery and -lO~/Starperiphery, I get "-bash: -lO: command not found" and "No such file or directory". I have downloaded both the mega and the workupload version both give the no permission. As for my Os I run Big Sur ver 11.5.1. I don't think this is an issue since the previous versions of the game ran properly.

Edit - I just downloaded the "The Unarchiver" best app ever it works now, I don't know how or what it did but I just opened it with the app and it works. Thanks!
