Hello, I have installed the game but have been stuck on this loading screen for over 10 minutes (with the bar fully loaded throughout that time). I've closed down and restarted but still end up back stuck here. Is there a way around this? 

This is happening for me too - macOS monterey on the new macbook

Yup, same. installed and launched through the Itch app for Mac and still nothing. Akupara, please let me play my favorite game!

I just bought this game and am experiencing the same issue using macOS Monterrey. Any chance there is a patch?
