Extract the .zip with The Unarchiver instead of the built in one, looks like a problem with a few of the mac zips downloaded from Itch

Wow, I can confirm that I had the same issue on the latest release of MacOS Monterey on an M1 Macbook Pro. Opening the zip defaulted to the built in 'Archive Utility' and that resulted in simply
Extracting with "The Unarchiver" was able to properly extract it and run the game (After being annoying and saying 'the dev can't be trusted', then having to control+double-click the file to override that message)
Thanks brsk144 for the fix, something must be weird with the way the app is packaged for the default extractor.
