If you are having trouble opening this on MacOS - download the "permission fix" version from the download page, then open the app by RIGHT-CLICKING on it and selecting "Open" from the context menu. Then click "Open" on the following dialogue box. Worked for me on an M1 Macbook Air running Big Sur.
Yeeeeeah so according to my Macbook, I don't have permission to open this? Somewhere down there in the comments the creator offers a workaround via executing a line of code into the thingy so I opened terminal for the first time ever and dinked around for half an hour pretending I was a computer hacker - long story short, if you have a Macbook and you're dumb like me then this game is not for you, sorry.
***EDIT*** Game works with the permission fix! Absolutely worth checking out. It's great. :)
An interesting aspect of this game is the way it represents the corporate world as unitary, there's no single being separate from the system surrounding them, and anyone who tries to break free or to enter the system is ignored, punished or removed in order to prevent any possible change. An incredibly surrealist critique of the corporate world. Well done!
(I mean, that's at least what I've gotten out of it.)
I didn't like the part where you were trying to shake everyone's hand, but they went to shake someone else's hand instead of yours. Too real ;-; Otherwise, this is a solid experience. 10/10

I like the atmosphere of the game and the colour pallet. Nice job!

You do not have permission to open the application “AFirmHandshake”.
Does anyone have a solution?
Hi, I don't have a Mac but according to some other people this gets around it:
A regular reminder for fellow Catalina users: if having trouble running the game, you need to execute the following on the command line:
After this, you need to hold control + right-click on the application, and select Open.
yep it works! Thank you!
