Game summary
In this tale of murder and deception with nothing less than the fate of humanity at stake, you awaken inside a cryogenic sleep chamber aboard the drifting starship, Westwick. As Captain John O'Neil, you are physically unharmed, but suffer from a complete and permanent loss of memory. Beside you are three other sleep chambers. One is empty. In another lies a beautiful woman, still in hibernation. The final chamber contains a 300-year old corpse. The ship's computer, Westwick Main, has also had much of her memory deleted by someone unknown. Your wits are your greatest weapon in this story of suspense and interplanetary intrigue. Nothing is as it seems and despite the icy, cold silence... you're not alone.

Play Darkstar: The Interactive Movie on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Darkstar: The Interactive Movie 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).
