New update:
I found out that there is no app data (when I press it it doesn't bring me to a file location)

I started the game just a minute ago and this is the solution I have found
on playcover:
right click (your game) -> show in finder
open it with shift+double click

It appears that you and we are not experiencing the same issue. I also tried that method, but it didn't work. Nonetheless, thank you.
