I did some searching online and my understanding is that that its a effort vs benefit situation where the MacOS market isnt big enough for developers to justify the technical effort required for Steam MacOS compatibility and long term support.
Of course i could be wrong ( im just a fan ) so take it with a grain of salt.
The developer Leef6010 specified the fix so im pasting from the description
MacOS Users: please be aware of a feature called Gatekeeper, which may show the message "This application is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash" when opening Project Kat. You can find information on how to bypass this error in this video. Alternatively, you can try to install Project Kat using the Itch App.
that's a very old message so i'm quite sure it doesn't apply anymore and having very little updates on ch1 doesn't seem unlikely when you consider the Lacie alternate clothing skin teaser in the wardrobe
As far as i know there is no way to kill the primal demons which i like because it really tunes you in for that nice tension vibe , especially when you consider the crescendo of tension that builds up very rithmically from the LockedSite foreshadowing and then BAM a little funny pink thing completely overshadow their threat level with such an amazingly orchestrated cutscene filled with horror , intrigue and wonder !
That's a very interesting observation , also If you like discussing the lore you could look into the Paper Lily Steam Discussions page or the Paper Lily Discord.
Considering that the devs said that ch2 will be paid i would expect it to be a different .exe rather then an integration to ch1 .exe otherwise i think it gets tricky to handle but i could be wrong.
Kaiyo's art is a combination of master strokes , every line is unique , every color is perfectly chosen and as the eye travels on the canvas you feel like the universe is speaking to you , telling you to relax , to take a deep breath , and enjoy the day and yet before that happens you feel a burning sensation inside your chest , suddenly you want more ! you need more !
The ending is open because the devs really know how to tease fans.
I'm a huge fan and i loved the dead endings very much , just masterful work on the visual communication , masterful use of the "show dont tell" and "tell dont show " tecniques.
mmmm based on my guess of what i think you are trying to say i think that's a good point in terms of something that doesn't look optional but it's not trivial to deal with
I think you are referring to the optional puzzles , you dont need any coins to beat the game , the optional puzzles and the coins are a layered extra challenge that you dont have to take to enjoy the game.
