Does RPGMAKER even have an Android port? If not, then try looking into emulators that can play Windows games.
Even then, I’m not really convinced that it can be done.
RPG Maker MV and MZ does allow exporting to Android and iOS, but the game has to be designed for mobile and the game needs to be converted to an app. Here's the dialog from RPG Maker MV:
MZ is identical to MV except the Linux option isn't present and the Android / iOS and Web browsers were merged to Web browsers / Android / iOS. Mac OS X was renamed to macOS in MZ since the macOS name has been used since macOS 10.12 Sierra.
Something to keep in mind that most games' UI aren't built for small screens in mind which would make navigating menus annoying, but the game does seem viewable on a small phone screen (I checked my YouTube playthrough on my Pixel 7a). Another issue is the lockpicking and escape system rely on hitting directions which isn't possible on a touchscreen (the mouse doesn't work there).
The Didnapper wiki claims that Didnapper 2 uses plugins that are designed for computers and are incompatible with Android emulation. I don't know if the latter is true because RPG Maker MV and MZ run on Chromium rather than emulation unless if running on ARM-based Windows (which aren't common) or an Apple Silicon Mac which has to emulate the x86 code to ARM. Aside from graphical assets, I don't know if any plugins don't work on mobile or any platform.
I purchased the Steam version and played it, but the most recent Mac update makes it impossible to play 8-bit games on Steam. Do you know if the Itch.io version would work on a Macbook Air, and if so, could I transfer my steam file onto it?
The Steam and Itch versions of the game are virtually identical, except for the differences in how Steam handles installation and execution. What exactly is the issue you encounter when you try to run the game via Steam?
I think newer macOS versions tend to have issue with RPG Maker MV games although I don't have a Mac, so I can't verify if even Apple Silicon Macs can run MV games. There is this post Regarding Future RPG Maker MV macOS Support that mentions that MV won't support macOS 11+. RPG Maker MZ games should work although Didnapper 2 is an MV game.
I don't know if MV games are 32-bit on Mac since they are on Windows (RPG Maker MZ is 64-bit only). I know it can be confusing if a Mac app is 32-bit and 64-bit. For example, Discord is 32-bit on Windows while the Mac version is 64-bit.
Hey, the Itch version of the game won't work for me so i was consideing buying the steam version. Do i need another $20 or can i get a refund on the Itch version?
Hiya! Itch has a policy of only refunding if there's a technical issue that customer support can't help to fix (we don't have an option to give refunds ourselves), so let's try that first. Most players who can't get the Itch version to run by downloading manually have found that downloading and installing it through the Itch launcher app worked (because it fixes some file permission issues), so maybe you can try that first: https://itch.io/app
So will Truth be available through itch? The reason I ask is because I'm running on an older mac and the only way I can play the game is through itch. Tried downloading both the OG demo and the closed beta for Truth and the game freezes the moment I try to start a new game. Works fine here. Can't play it after opening the zip files on just my mac though.
Truth (v1.2) is an update to the game itself, not a separate DLC, so yes, the version here on Itch will be replaced by the updated version once it's ready 🙂👍
Is there any ETA for the Truth expansion? I bought the game on this site but can't afford to subscribe to Patreon (trying to minimize the DID footprint in my visible bank notes XD), so I can't quite follow its progression
We don't have a set date yet, but I can say that it's still at least a few months away. We might be able to give something more specific during our upcoming public livestream on Discord and YouTube :)

Will we have Android version pls ?

Never mind, I think the problem is that MacOS no longer supports 32 bit software. That's really annoying.

I was already trying to launch it through the launcher, unfortunately.
Hmm, do you get some sort of error message? Or does it just close or show a black screen?
Error message
What does the error message say?
Have you extracted/unzipped the file you downloaded?
Which rpgmaker was this made with?
It was made in RPG Maker MV.
thank you
How to download modules

Hello, sorry, what are the requirements to be able to play without lag and for the Mods to run well?

bonds does not work on mac?... will this be same case?
Are you going to add an android download to the game?
We don't have any plans to make an official Android build of Didnapper 2, no.
Is there a prison where you can keep captured damsels? like in the first didnapper.
hey during chapter 2 when you rescue the snitch gal, it breaks and loops the 4 thief encounter, is there a way to fix this?
What version of the game are you playing, and have you installed any mods?
Is there still planned update for this game?
Yes! You can follow our progress and even play the closed beta version on our Patreon :)
