How to play Dear Future on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
Dear Future is a multiplayer wandering game where you photograph a cryptic city using an inherited camera. Working collectively with every other player in the world, you must document the ruined land of your predecessors and lift an ancient curse.
Tread across a procedurally-generated world of pseudoclassical architecture and take photographs in it, saving a single one to pass down to future players. After your first session ends, the next player will inherit the camera and continue from where you left off. What will you leave for those that come after you?
Use the camera tools to create striking and creative photographs. Restore paths to open hidden areas to future players. Leave messages to help future players delve deeper into the city. Uncover hidden truths as you drift the depths together over generations.

Play Dear Future on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dear Future 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).
Dear Future installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

Step 4
