Game summary

"Inspired by roguelikes, adventure games, and elements of the survival genre, Aquamarine tells the story of a lone space traveller who is marooned on an unknown planet covered in water. Players must navigate their humble escape pod through the alien ocean depths, discovering its secrets, recovering their crashed ship, and hopefully escaping with their life. Aquamarine is a turn-based game, emphasizing defense and tactical maneuvers over combat, and focuses on collecting and managing limited resources, deciphering a dynamic ecosystem, and unraveling the planet's mysterious history through puzzles and exploration. Over the course of the game, players will upgrade and customize their escape pod with a number of special abilities and tap into the planet's natural elements to power their progress."

Play Aquamarine on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Aquamarine 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).

Aquamarine installation steps for Mac

Step 1

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
