How to play a nifty game on Mac
| Platforms | Platform, Computer |
Game summary
'Nifty' is a simulation, containing as much algorithmically generated content as possible and as little static content as feasible. The entire population of the world, including the player character you control is procedurally generated and will never be the same over multiple runs. All the ‘AI constructs’ trapped in this perpetual simulation just want to survive. All except for you, you want to escape. To be able to flee from this world and make it into persistent memory where you can exist indefinitely in peace, you have to cause enough damage to the world around you as to slip through the cracks. But destroying one’s own world has consequences...

Play a nifty game on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play a nifty game 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).
a nifty game installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install a nifty game like you would on any PC.
