Do you mean the terminal part or the Setting part? If you are talking about the terminal part, just open your Terminal app, copy and paste the thing I quoted in the earlier comment into it. To check if this works, enter “ls -l "/Applications/DAYBREAK.app/Contents/MacOS"”(remember to unzip the file before doing any of this)In the output, if you see something like -rwxrwxr-x with something behind it, it should be fine. (Or, you can definitely check first to see if it already has executable permission by checking if there is anything like "-rwxrwxr-x". If it happens with a different prefix but still with an x behind, it should be fine.)

If you still can't open Daybreak, or you are struggling with the Setting part I said, see what the system reminds you when you are trying to open the game. If you see something like "Apple could not verify the developer" or "Apple cannot verify that this app is free from malware," go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and a warning about Daybreak (with similar information about verification I mentioned above) should appear.  Then, select Open Anyway on the right.
Try this way and tell me if you have any questions! If you can open the game now, enjoy and have a good day!

Oh btw, if you still can't open the app after this(saying that Apple could not check if the app is safe), please check in you Setting App. In Privacy & Security part, scroll down until you see Open Anyway. Click Open Anyway, and you can enjoy!

The macOS build appears to have lost the executable permissions for the files in Contents/MacOS.

Running “chmod +x "/Applications/DAYBREAK.app/Contents/MacOS/"*” in termial

And it should be able to fix the issue, and the game launches correctly.

Hope it helps!

Hey, if you wanna try, I sent out a possible way to solve this in the newest comment. If you have concerns about it, you can ask ChatGPT more about it. 

Hope you could enjoy the game!

After finding the way to solve the saving problem, I will send another new comment later!

Note that the problem I stated might not be the only problem happening. 

For those who have a Mac system and are unable to open the game, here's one way I found useful from ChatGPT. In your Terminal, enter "xattr -cr "(fully copy and paste the thing in the quote, including the space) , then drag the After Hours.app into the space after it, which should look something like this: "xattr -cr /Users/xxx/Downloads/After\ Hours.app"(given by ChatGPT, thus not the same code you are going to have). Hit Enter, and you should be able to open up the App on your computer. 

Note that you would have some bugs happening in your game after you open it up this way (such as wrong voice line, or unable to save(that I didn't save yet)). If you feel fine about it, just try it!

I'am also Mac, and the problem is still there. I guess the initial Mac file is corrupted and still didn't fix until now. Hope the Mac version get back on real quick...

hoping the problem solving quick...

I can't open up the file on my Mac(saying something like the file is corrupted). I noticed that someone said the problem with the file a few days ago, and is that problem being solved?
