Game summary

A horror from distant past. Will awaken tonight. Do you dare face something Abnormal? Abnormal is a first person horror game made in the spirit of classical horror titles where the emphasis was making the player feel vulnerable and in real danger as opposed to the current trend of overpowering the player with weapons and resources and sending hordes of zombies after him. In Abnormal your character has asthma and therefore you have to keep looking for inhalers as you run out of breath from physical activities or from the horrors in this mansion. In addition to that, Abnormal features the ability to instantly switch between two different time periods in the mansion you are exploring which will come in handy for puzzle solving. Abnormal will feature optional support for Head Mounted Displays such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive which will immerse you in the heart of fear.

Play Abnormal on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Abnormal 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).

Abnormal installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2

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 Abnormal like you would on any PC.
