How to play Bad Ben on Mac
Game summary
Experience the first Found Footage Video Game that isn’t about Slender Man (citation needed)! Based on the cult hit micro-micro-micro-budget film series, the Bad Ben game is here to take the beloved franchise digital. Take the role of Tom Riley—voiced by the man himself, Nigel Bach—as he once again makes the incredibly informed decision to buy a house sight unseen at a sheriff’s auction.
Obviously, the night does not go by un-ghosted. Soon after his arrival, paranormal happenings begin to plague the unflappable Tom. You’ll have to get to the bottom of these spectral shenanigans, mostly by finding keys. Because it’s an indie horror game.
Do you have what it takes to survive the night?

Play Bad Ben on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Bad Ben 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).
