How to play AYA on Mac

Game summary

Developed by 500 Miles Studio, AYA is a graphic adventure where we will control the forensic investigator who gives the game its name. Starting from her immediate present, in which our protagonist suffers an end-stage Alzheimer, we will travel back eighteen years to Havenmist, her hometown, a small mountain-town, where as players, we must solve the so-called Iscariot case. Howeder, our adventure will take us along the Ashmore state, while we sneak into the lives of dozens of characters, whose secrets lie under that isolated place of eternal snows. Throughout the investigation, we will perfom autopsies to obtain evidences, we will process crime scenes in search of clues, we will analyse the muerderer´s rituality with which commits his acts, we will investigate the background of the different victims to discover why they were chosen, we will interrogate to possible suspects to wrench them a confession or to hear their testimony, we will raise hypotheses based on the proofs collected, and finally, we will reveal the motivations of its author and the meaning of his "work".

Play AYA on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play AYA 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).

AYA 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 AYA like you would on any PC.
