Hi. Someone on Reddit mentioned the Siren Head character which I'd never heard of and it sounded intriguing, so I typed it into Google and came across your game via a YouTube video. It looks super creepy and it would be awesome to play it, but the Mac download doesn't work.
When I open the zip file, I get a txt file which is normal but when I try and open the file with the icon, it says it can't open the application.
I've tried this both with the normal download and the redownload it suggests.
Hi. This is Apple's fault, actually. I'm on the latest MacOS Catalina and it works fine here, but you have to mark the launcher inside the .app's content folder as an executable. In latest versions of MacOS, when you download unknown binaries from the internet, the OS marks the launcher of this application as non-executable. To make it work, after you extract the .zip file, right-click on the .app file > show package contents, then open a terminal inside its Contents/MacOS folder. Then, type "chmod +x Siren\ Head\ v1.0" . Go back to the .app file and you can now open it normally.
It has to be the folder "inside" the .app file. See, each .app file in MacOS has a "content folder" inside it. Maybe you're in the wrong directory. You have to right-click the .app file after the .zip file was extracted and select "show package contents". Then, inside this folder, open a terminal inside its Contents/MacOS folder. To confirm you're inside the right .app folder, use the command "pwd". You should get something like:
/Users/<username>/Downloads/Siren Head.app/Contents/MacOS.
If you're somewhere else, it should not work.
