The shop menu button is covered by the timer, making it very difficult to find. Moreover, after using it once it dissapeared. Without the shop not much can be done.
I didn't really understand how to actually play the game. At first I thought I had to serve the clients, then It seemed I had to decorate the restaurant, then it became a weird tower defence where you cannot see what is taking damage from the enemies and neither your "towers" (traps). I took a lot of damage but still didn't die.
The game says that decorations become traps during the day but, during daytime, the traps I placed disappeared and enemies just went directly to the front desk to damage an invisible screaming guy.
Suffice to say I think the game is confusing right now and would bennefit from some tutorial or initial guiding level.
Hello guys, I have already tried to download your mac build multiple times but my mac says that it is corrupted. Am I the only one with this problem? Do you think you can update your build?
Hi, we uploaded a new version that should now have permissions included, to execute you have to set "Allow apps from anywhere" in your settings. Let us know if it works now thank you!
Hi, I also downloaded it for Mac but the file is corrupted. It's damaged, the problem is not in permissions
There was a problem with the version for both Silicon and Intel64, now there are two separate versions, try to download the one you need
Hello, I downloaded the new Apple silicon version, but it says that the file is still corrupted
Hi guys, I downloaded the new version for Apple and I still can't open it because the file is corrupted
Same think. Also with new version!
If you have already done
sudo spctl --master-disableto make "Allow apps from anywhere" active and tried opening them as an administrator then you've done the same thing when we were able to open it. We don't have a mac available so we can't really test it continuosly, but we will try to have a browser version for the betaBeta version for MacOS Intel still corrupted...
I don't really understand the game. For what i played during the day you just need to wait because the dialogs don't give you information or resources and at night you have to place 'traps' that don't do enough damage. Maybe the game doesn't work correctly on my computer, but i wasn't able to even bring a single enemy to half health.
