Guess the language! (Cops' Thread)
A famous cops-and-robbers challenge whose source shall remain unnamed is brought to Codidact.
You are a cop. You should write a program in a "famous" (has an English Wikipedia/Esolangs/Rosetta Code page) language that prints Cops and Robbers. That's all it does - prints exactly this stream of bytes, with optional trailing output if your language absolutely has to make it.
Don't assume REPLs, existing boilerplate or nonstandard flags. If your code has bytes outside printable ASCII range, it should have a hexdump available.
Do not, and I repeat, do not edit the source of your program after posting. You might want to make your program polyglot-free.
Your goal is to be the writer of the shortest program whose language still hasn't been determined after 2 weeks or 14 days. If your program isn't cracked by then, you may choose to reveal the language yourself.
Good luck, all!

C or C++ (gcc) 220 bytes, cracked by Razetime
%:
%: define cops(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t) if(not false and k%:%:f%:%:d%:%:l(& (not true) <:%:i%:j%:k%:l" "%:m" "%:n%:o%:p%:q%:r%:s%:t:> ))<%%>
%:
main()<%cops(w,h,a,t,s,u,p,?,C,o,p,s,and,R,o,b,b,e,r,s)%>
Output:
Cops and Robbers
Some explanation/de-obfuscation:
-
%:is a digraph equivalent to#.<%and%>are digraph equivalents to{and}.<:and:>are digraph equivalents to[and]. -
#on an empty line is allowed but does nothing. -
notandandare alternative operators from iso646.h here used to make it look more like other languages. The boolean stuff is mostly there to confuse. - Using stringification # and token concatenation ##, the macro expands to:
if(!false and puts(&[not true]"Cops and Robbers")<%%> - Removing obfuscation this is basically just
puts("Cops and Robbers").
