If you can be patient, I do suspect that we will be able to get Unearthed back on cartridges again and up for sale. It might take a little while though. It's tough to navigate making the games and properly distributing them. I'm glad you enjoyed Specimen 134. I think the various endings were one of the most fun parts of making the game.
Oh awesome I'm glad you liked it! There's a couple of other endings you can get too. I did an investigation into exporting a pocket file for The Last Employee and unfortunately it is on a really really old version of gb studio where it's not possible to convert it to a pocket file even using the oldest methods. Unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to port it to a newer version of GB Studio because I'm approaching finishing another game. I will let you know if the opportunity presents itself to me though.
If you want more, I'd suggest checking out my Metamorphosis Collection https://benjelter.itch.io/metamorphosis-collection
It's a 3 pack of horror games including Opossum Country! Each one is longer than the last. Opossum Country is the smallest one and Specimen 134 is by far the biggest.
Since the game is in the Gameboy rom format, it requires an emulator unless you play it on Game Boy hardware or an fgpa device that replicates the game boy hardware. Even an fgpa could be considered hardware emulation. It's possible for me to convert it to an exe but it would be inside of an emulator wrapper. I figure it's better to give the player more flexibility instead.
You can play it on MacOS using a program called an emulator. It pretends to be a Gameboy and runs the rom file. Here is one example of a free Gameboy emulator for MacOS: https://sameboy.github.io/downloads/
Happy to help! I don't even have a pocket but I remembered seeing this online so now needing a pocket file is kind of a solved issue. I never liked having to export a separate proprietary format for a gameboy game because roms are such a nice clean universal format. It was like needing a different power cord in every country you go to.
