How to play Country House on Mac
Game summary
COUNTRY HOUSE is illustrated, interactive fiction. The environment and characters are - on the whole - historically credible. They didn't exist in eighteenth century Sweden, but they could have.
You are not out to collect swords to kill monsters or to search for keys to unlock doors. There will be a few ghosts and some supernatural events here. But you won't risk your life, neither by hunger nor thirst. A fall through a window won't hurt you much. You can study a map whenever you like, but it will reveal no secrets. Your task is to gather information, to do historical research.
First released: Dec 2001
Play Country House on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Country House 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).
Country House 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 Country House like you would on any PC.
