Is there a Mac installer available for download? App store says the game isn't available in my region (USA)



Sorry for taking some time to reply in full, but I wanted to wait for an official answer from Apple support. Apple informed me that:

"[Y]our apps … are available worldwide and functioning as expected. If your customers are reporting issues, they may not meet the requirements for the apps or have some issues on their devices and would need to contact technical support for assistance."

I'm glad you and others reported problems with availability, but it looks to be something outside of my control. If you still want to get Angeldust on your Apple device from the App Store you might have to contact Apple to help diagnose the issue. I'm sorry that I am unable to help you.

Like I posted earlier, Angeldust is available from several other sources besides the iTunes and Mac App Store:

Itch.io (Win, Mac, Linux, Android): https://metagaming.itch.io/angeldust

Steam (Win, Mac, Linux): https://store.steampowered.com/app/488440/

Google Play Store (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.metagaming....


Quick answer—both Steam and Itch.io offer DRM-free, standalone macOS versions:

Itch.io: https://metagaming.itch.io/angeldust

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/488440/

Long answer—you are the fourth hacker to report that the game isn't available for you on one of Apple's App Stores. I've contacted Apple right after my stream yesterday, now waiting for a reply. If anyone can help me diagnose this or get it working, that'd be greatly appreciated. I recently switched from a free tier to a paid tier for the product launch, so I might be messing up something.


It's showing up for me in the App Store, macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G1012) from Argentina. Hope it helps with diagnosing somehow, and good luck with the project, looks impressive.


You can buy it on Steam.
