Hi there,

In the off chance someone sees this -

I remember spending hours playing the Telepath games on Kongregate as a kid, and was feeling nostalgic so I looked up Sinister and was stoked to see that TSOG was still for sale. Thought I'd try the demo first and make sure if I can get it working my old Mac (OS 10.14), but no luck. I had no trouble installing Air, the TechSpot link worked just fine. I also didn't see any of the errors in old forum posts and the FAQ (no "installer file is damaged" error). Everything goes smoothly until I start the game, and it immediately crashes with a "TSOG has quit unexpectedly" message. I tried uninstalling both and turning the clock back anyway, but it didn't work. I also tried changing the clock mid process and installing only Air 'in 2016' then TSOG in 2023, and vice versa.

Crash logs say Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (Code Signature Invalid)

Are there any new instructions to be had? Or is the game too old to support now?

The EXC_CRASH (Code Signature Invalid) error indicates that macOS is blocking it for security reasons (not a game bug). You can fix it by disabling Gatekeeper, removing the quarantine flag, and checking for the correct AIR version.
