How to play 61 Days on Mac
Game summary
61 days is an adventure game set on an alien planet.
The crew of a spaceship crash-land after flying too close to large world known only as HB137F. Luckily, there are few casualties and the atmosphere is survivable, but they soon discover that in exactly 61 days the temperature is set to plummet to unbearable cold.
Their only hope lies with an expedition a century ago, which perished but managed to use alien technology to build fuel cells to generate heat and power. Now the clock is ticking to find these artifacts and use them to build a base that will help you brave the winter.
Ultimately, your goal is to collect these energy cells. Along the way you will face platforming challenges as well as puzzle and fighting segments. You will also have to make decisions, sometimes as the ship's captain, that will affect the health of your colony and your overall chances of survival.
Play 61 Days on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play 61 Days on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
