For some reason, the game won't properly download on my Macbook, the demo will download and expand but the actual application won't allow me to run it? Is there any reason that could be?? or is it just because my mac isn't compatible..

Are you getting an error log with RenPy? Or is the application just not opening at all?

If it won't open, that sounds like it might be your Mac's antivirus stopping the application! This is quite a common issue. Try some guides online for running RenPy games with Mac and see if that fixes it :]

I've never had a problem with most ren'py games before , so no it's not an error log and I've played a lot of visual novels, my anti-virus never really flags them as threats but it won't open at all when I click on it which is quite weird. There are some games that are just not compatible with my mac but I'm pretty sure it had a different message in those cases when i was just unable to expand the zip, I can't tell what the problem is.

Oh dear!
I just had my Mac playtester install the game, and it has opened fine for them. The game may just be incompatible with your Mac, but I'd suggest first reinstalling and running the game with your antivirus disabled to see if that fixes the issue.

Hopefully you are able to play it!

(un)luckily, I found another game that isn't compatible with my mac so i can show you the difference between the two. The second image is another game, when a game is not functionable on my mac the application itself has a gray circular cross symbol on it, while this game simply says it can't be opened and has an.. odd symbol as a placeholder for the logo

I see! This is quite strange. I have recompiled and uploaded a new build for Mac. There may have been some kind of corruption issue.

this is pretty embarrassing to say.. but the game still won't open on my mac, nonetheless I'm really thankful for you trying to fix the issue and taking time out of your day to respond to me, I'll resort to downloading this on my phone instead haha
