How to play Cold Comfort on Mac

Game summary
Cold Comfort is an asymmetrical, tactical 5v5 PvP FPS. Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, it has a strong focus on cooperation and environmental destruction. Play as either a Survivor or a Gamma Prime- each side having completely unique game mechanics and vastly different goals. Each Survivor has their own exclusive weapon sets, skills, and gadgets. Their unified goal: the preservation of humanity from the throes of the Gamma Strain pandemic. They must rescue and evacuate civilians, ensuring that the infection does not spread.
As with any virus, it's main prerogative is to evolve and disseminate. The Gamma Primes, victims mutated by the Gamma Strain, are the perfect catalyst for this task. As a Gamma Prime, you start the game embodying an infected rat. Scurrying around, spreading terror and infection. The more corpses and civilians you infect, the greater your respawn pool becomes. Choose when you want to take the next evolutionary step, and become a zombie, and then fully evolve into a Gamma Prime; using these stages to your advantage.
Play Cold Comfort on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Cold Comfort 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).
Cold Comfort installation steps for Mac
Step 1

Step 4
