It should be able to work on Mac! Did you make sure to extract the zip file before trying to play the game?
If it still doesn't work, take a screenshot of what you're clicking on when you're trying to run it and sent the picture to batensan@gmail.com. I'll try to help!
Hi ! I actually got some issues too and figured out how to make it work, but you'll have to use your terminal (which you can find in Applications -> Utilities)
The thing is, the application to launch the game is considered as a folder, this is how you have to proceed : go to the folder you put the folder in with the command "cd" (for example, cd Documents/"Magical Otoge Iris" beware, if there are spaces, you HAVE to write the "") Then :
cd "Magical Otoge Iris.app"
cd Contents
cd MacOS
./"Magical Otoge Iris"
And the game should start ! But don't quit the terminal because it'll stop the game too
Here is a screen in case you need it (if you want to see the files inside the folders, you can use the command "ls", that's how i found the real ? application)
Have fun, I'm really enjoying the game, thank you a lot Batensan ! (By the way, if one day you want to translate your games in French so more people can play it, I'd be glad to help !)
!! Thank you so much for your help! I hope this works for the others who were having problems. I don't have a Mac so honestly I'm not sure what you did there loL... No one else has told me about a problem like this before either so I was wondering what was wrong (usually people just forget to extract the zip file).
Thanks again for your help and wow, even an offer to translate! We can always chat in a few months (hopefully not years, cough) when the game is actually done and see if you still want to! I've done translating before so I have an idea of how much work it is...!
Either way, take care! I'm glad you like the game so much!
Thank you so much--I really appreciate it! I actually figured out an easier way to do it (just in case you want it) where you right click on the app, click "Show Package Contents", click on "Contents", click on "MacOS", and then click on the thing in that folder. I hope this helps anyone else who was struggling as well. :)
I played all the magical otoge games in 2 days in this one is by far my favorite. So excited for the full game, although the demo is already quite lengthy. I'm super curious about Rieffe and septum...and Wynrou and Requieu. Idk I love everyone don't make me choose.
I love the demo. it was so good now i got another thing to be impatient about. iwas really hoping we were gonna get to see the sword spirts human form to. Im interested in him adn of course lenny to. The only thing i didnt like was how dense the main charecter was sometimes to dating like not even knowing what a couple was but other then that she was really cute and interesting. I'll defienlty buy the full game once it comes out.
This is not the full version, if I remember correctly, she will not be giving an estimate to when it is done. This is because they have a lot of in life situations that acquire more of her attention then the otome that she is working on. AN otome that she has mentioned to be a free game. If you wish she does have other visual novels you could check out, they are a great read if I say so myself, and I do say so myself.
Is Septem a main character? I mean, is there a way to only target him speaking of romances, or is the game a common path with minor changes? Both ways are fine with me; just trying not to get too specific expectations. (Don't judge meeh~)
Finished both of Magical Otoge Ciel and Anholly....They both made me cry like I lost someone (Referring to MOAnholly) and about to play the game! I'm already expecting some romance in this obviously....
Has this game not been released yet? I have been waiting for a year because that was my only choice, duh. But I am rather excited about its release, so excuse my impatience... ^.^
Hellow Bantensan!!! I really Love All the Magical otoge games of yours😆 *magical otoge ciel* was my favourite and I am Really looking forward to this game too! So, please tell me when it will be done?😄 because I can hardly wait😉
Wow I really loved the demo ! I think Wynrou is my favorite.. Okay no my favorite is Henri but is not an obtainable character :( Btw great work looking forward to the game.
Will Wynrou be an obtainable character? I really like him. A lot. Your game is beautiful, serious, funny, and really sweet. I love it so much!!! ....But, I love Wynrou more.
Thank you! And yes, Wynrou will be obtainable. The current planned obtainable characters are Lanneis, Wynrou, Septem, Reqieu, and Rieffe (separate implied Vendetta ending too).
I absolutely adore this! I actually first came to know about you by randomly getting suggested MO Ciel, and I immediately fell for your games. I actually have yet to play Anholly buuuut that is about to happen in a few minutes so ^-^'
I love your art style and character designs and can't wait for the full game!
PS. Lanneis is my favorite too. Also cheers to Nia for being my wingman~
I've played this demo a several times. You know, when it the full game comes out, I'm sure it will be worth it to spend some $$$. Anyways, dudes in glasses *swoooon* The art is very beautiful and the story plot was just downright interesting. Say no more, I need some time alone to fangirl.
Btw, batensan I appreciate your hard-work and dedication to create some wonderful visual novels. And it is very PUNny.
This game is amazing and I can't wait for the full one! The art, characters and humor are wonderful. So far, I think I'm enjoying the plot of Iris even more than the other games and I absolutely loved the plots in the other games.
As for my favorite characters; I really love Henri and Reqieu. Lanneis is definitely my favorite character though... he is quite the spectacle.
GLASSES. [hahaha, Lanies and Henri haaaaaaaaaaa....]
I LOVE IT
Questiooooon - will you make an extended demo to see a portion of the polished game to those who can't afford the game [cough cough me] if it turns into commercial??
BUT I LOVED IT SO MUCH AHHH-
Lanies [idk how to spell it so let's call him Lanny like Nia] is so A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! Kyaaa!!!
But ahh--- I want a route with Val and Rieffe !!!!
EVEN THO VAL IS OLD SHHH-----!!
Val reminds me of Valteire, i dunno why tho, haha.
I JUST CAN'T---
did the board [or older purifiers] say that Rieffe died because Vendetta took in his body??? Or--??? You'll probably put it in the game but GOSH I JUST WANT TO KNOWWWW ;-;
Covered from the cheerful characters, the humour, and its magnificent art style (although it sometime make me cringe for the same face structure to the male character; a bit difficult to differ them at first, but also glad that it gives slight feels of playing as androgynous MC ^^), ....
I can sense it.
I just can sense (or is it just my sentimentality?) that the angst, years of misunderstood and lies; are awaiting in further plot..... and reminder for myself to prepare a ton of tissue, again (T^T)/
i loved this so much and i'm really looking forward to the full version <3 this was amazing made me feel so many things <3 i really love it and i can't pick a favorite however i do hope there is a Wynrou and his brothers route >.< and course Rieffe i kinda ship Iris with Rieffe the most <3
This visual novel was SOOOOO good! I couldn't stop playing it!! I loved the characters, the story, the world, the art, everything! And that ending!!! >~< I can't wait for the full release! <3
I love your taste in comedy and I've already cleared Anholly and 1/3 of Ciel. Can't wait to try this out! ( xd I got Ciel this past Saturday so I binged.)
Thank you very much! In response to your other comment, did this game's exe work in the end? If it doesn't, send me an email at batensan@gmail.com and I'll try to see if I can figure out what's wrong!
Ahhhh I wish I had money so I could donate ;n; I love your games and your art is amazing ahhhhh. I've had trouble opening this zip however? It says "Unable to expand "Magical Otoge Iris Demo.zip" into "Desktop". (Error 2 - No such file or directory) but I was able to open Magical Otoge Anholly though? Thank you in advance <3
I wish I could donate to you! I love your games lol. 2018... I'm going to collect $10 for this! Funny game though. The "hopeless tsundere", Henri, (lol) is possibly my favorite character. Awesome art.
Hi, I know I'm double commenting, but it occurred to me today to ask you: Is there any way I can help you besides donations? (I have no means to do so as I'm only 16 and have no credit card) I would love it if i could help you in any way for any of your games as they have brought me so much joy. If not, I understand if you prefer what you have now or feel as though you have the help you need already. Have a lovey new year! <3
Ahh thank you so much for your consideration! It already makes me really happy that someone's still thinking about my games after playing them. I can't really say that I have "all the help I need" because almost all of the work is done by myself, haha... ^p^ I think the only person who could really help me right now is someone who knows how to program in Ren'py/Python, but that's probably asking too much ^p^
Thanks for the offer, though! Knowing that people are looking forward to my work helps a lot in its own way!!
Well this comment can be a kind of late but I've been learning how to use the Ren'py(A kind of that I understand the system of how this programing works), I'm not so sure but maybe I can help on some little stuff If you still need help Batesan! I like your work so I would love to help you If I can. I hope you take this in mind :'D
Wow, thank you for the offer!! ^p^ If you're confident in your programming skills feel free to email me at batensan@gmail.com! Ah and just so we're clear, I need a programmer who can make a new, specific function I want in the game, not just simple text entry. The script is a big secret until release, after all ^p^ Either way, thank you for your offer and desire to help!
Do you have a month and/or year for a release date estimation yet? I'm so excited!!! Your work is amazing and super funny without trying too hard. I can't say anything that hasn't been said, so just know you're doing great and I support you all the way!
Hmmm my current estimate is 2018+, but it's rather hard for me to gauge since it'll be a lot bigger than the other things I've made, I think... Hopefully sooner than later!
Your games really are awesome. It's really a pleasure and I forget all my problems while reading your VNs. I mean, your work and art are amazing. I can't wait to play the game ! :)
Ahhhhh! <3 I just got finished playing all these games, I really like the art style and the word flow, very nice and good, thank you for taking all the time and hard work to make these!

I wanted to play the game but it seems that it doesn't work on my Mac, is there any way to solve that problem?

I can't play it on my Mac either :( the game just opens up and closes down right away! SOS!

Either way, take care! I'm glad you like the game so much!
Mac are not used this way usually, PrincessCatie's solution is way simpler XD
I'll wait don't worry (even for years), at least I will have the time to play all the games !
Thank you, take care too !

Septem will get a route! Though you'll have to unlock him by doing another character's route first.
Je vois je vois... I'll just have to find a game guide to unlock him quickly then.
Okay.
^^ Thank you for your answer!
I can tell how how right now! You unlock Septem but playing Reqieu's route, who is available from the start ^o^
Got it. (Sorry Reqieu. Get ready boy.)
Finished both of Magical Otoge Ciel and Anholly....They both made me cry like I lost someone (Referring to MOAnholly) and about to play the game! I'm already expecting some romance in this obviously....
Hope you enjoy the game!! :^)
Finished Magical Otome Ciel recently and LOVED IT! Just discovered there's mooore! eEEK!
Has this game not been released yet? I have been waiting for a year because that was my only choice, duh. But I am rather excited about its release, so excuse my impatience... ^.^

OMG OMG OMG
IT IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME!! I LOVE your works! Sorry for being SO impatient but, When will the full game be released?
I'm glad you liked it! At this point because of a lot of real-life problems I'm having, I'm really unsure when the game will be done :'D
I'll try my best to work more on it once my schooling is over in a month.
Good luck with real life!
Lots of Love!!!
I swear I'm going to start doing art commissions so I can pay for the full game!!!!
This is awesome!
I have yet to play your other games but I already know I will love them!
I absolutely adore this! I actually first came to know about you by randomly getting suggested MO Ciel, and I immediately fell for your games. I actually have yet to play Anholly buuuut that is about to happen in a few minutes so ^-^'
I love your art style and character designs and can't wait for the full game!
PS. Lanneis is my favorite too. Also cheers to Nia for being my wingman~
Ha
you get it.. like wing?
Birds and stuff?....
Anyways-
I've played this demo a several times. You know, when it the full game comes out, I'm sure it will be worth it to spend some $$$. Anyways, dudes in glasses *swoooon* The art is very beautiful and the story plot was just downright interesting. Say no more, I need some time alone to fangirl.
Btw, batensan I appreciate your hard-work and dedication to create some wonderful visual novels. And it is very PUNny.
i'm so ready and i hope there are lots of puns like there were in ciel :^)
one of the most creative and best VN demos I've played! I'm so excited for this :)
This game is amazing and I can't wait for the full one! The art, characters and humor are wonderful. So far, I think I'm enjoying the plot of Iris even more than the other games and I absolutely loved the plots in the other games.
As for my favorite characters; I really love Henri and Reqieu. Lanneis is definitely my favorite character though... he is quite the spectacle.
The first thing I woke up to was your spectacle pun and I couldn't be happier.
oh.
my.
GLASSES. [hahaha, Lanies and Henri haaaaaaaaaaa....]

I think I left the demo off at a good part, so I probably won't add anything major to it when I update the demo for the game's release.
No spoilers before the game's release :^)

is there a full game at all or just a demo?
She's working on the full version right now!
thanks!
Your games really are awesome. It's really a pleasure and I forget all my problems while reading your VNs. I mean, your work and art are amazing. I can't wait to play the game ! :)
Thanks a lot !
Thank you, I'm always happy to give people a good time!!!
