It might be possible to play the Windows version using Wine though:

On Mac: The application 'Game' can't be opened/ Game cannot be launched


---
Some things you can try:

- Hold the Control key while opening the game

- Go to 'System Preferences > Security & Privacy', and change your options to allow
apps downloaded from anywhere. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202491

- Download the Windows version. Download the latest version of nwjs


(http://nwjs.io/downloads/). Copy and paste the nwjs files into the Windows version
folder, overwriting what's inside. Run the game using the executable in the nwjs
files.

- Same as above, but use nwjs 0.45.6 instead.

- Download the Windows version. Download and install Wine + WineBottler. Run the
Game.exe and library files through WineBottler to produce a Game.app. Run Game.app

- Run the game using the following commands:


chmod +x Game.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs\ Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\ Helper
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs\ Helper\ EH.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\
Helper\ EH
chmod +x Game.app/Contents/Frameworks/nwjs\ Helper\ NP.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\
Helper\ NP

- Open terminal. Type in "sudo chmod -R 755 " then the .app pathway. Open the .app
again (Thanks to Pilot for this solution!)

For those on Sonoma having trouble opening the game, I just found this seems to
have worked:
Open terminal and, assuming Lust Doll is in ~/Downloads/Lust Doll Plus r60.0 (Mac)
run sudo chmod -R 075 ~/Downloads/Lust Doll Plus r60.0 (Mac) /Game.app (use
terminal completion to avoid having to escape all the spaces etc)
Run open -n ~/Downloads/Lust Doll Plus r60.0 (Mac) /Game.app from the terminal. It
will fail due to security policy (Sonoma no longer has the visible option allow
unverified developers)
Go to settings, Privacy, and select "open anyway"

To fix 'Game cannot be launched', you must change two files within the "Game" files
into executables.
-Right click the "Game" icon and click the option "Show Package Contents".
-Go into the "Contents" folder, then the "MacOS" folder. Look for the file "nwjs".
-Open up Terminal and type "chmod +x " making sure to add a space after x.
-Grab the "nwjs" and drag it into console. If you do it correctly, it will look
like this in console:

chmod +x /Users/[user]/Desktop/Lust\ Doll\ Plus\ r17.2\


(Mac)/Game.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs "

(If this doesn't work, see 'On Mac: Getting permission denied when trying to turn
the njws file to an executable' below!)

-Hit enter and the "nwjs" file with become an executable.

-Next, go into the "versions" folder, and then a folder with a string of numbers,
something like "65.0.3325.146"
-Right click "nwjs helper" and click "show package contents"
-Go into the "contents" folder, then the "MacOS" folder, and you will see the file
"nwjs helper".

-Repeat the above steps to turn this file into an exectuable, similar to what you
did with the "nwjs" file.

-Hold Control when launching the game!

-Above, during step: -Grab the "nwjs" and drag it into console.

"/Users/name/Downloads/Lust Doll Plus r25.0b (Mac)/Game.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs:


Permission denied"

-Use sudo bash -c 'chmod +x' to drop the njws file in terminal at this point
