How to play Cain in the 3rd Earth on Mac

Game summary

It is the year 2050. Mankind has polluted the environment to a degree that the planet isn't able to sustain life much longer (postapocalyptic settings apparently used to be really popular in Korea). A man named Lein is chosen to lead an expedition to a long lost colony planet— the third earth. However, all three vessels of the expedition are shot down and forced to crashland on the planet's surface. Lein wakes from his cryogenic sleep an only can watch the last crew members being slaughtered by robots. On his way out he is attacked by local bandits, falls unconscious and awakes in what seems like a typical medieval fantasy village, only it is terrorized by marauding robots and a feared magic using race called the Cain. Lein embarks on his adventure to find the other ships, look for survivors and by the way solve all the little problems of the locals.

Play Cain in the 3rd Earth on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Cain in the 3rd Earth 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).
