How to play Deep Water on Mac

Game summary

Deep Water is a single player action shooter game set in a post-apocalyptic world where the atmosphere has changed after an unspecified disaster. You now take on the role of a young man named El Shipak who hunts sea monster for a living. Six months ago Shipak has sighted a special monster and he is now obsessed with hunting it down. Gameplay includes sailing around the oceans with El Shipaks boat. In the Oceans are floating harbors where supplies like fuel and ammo can be bought to hunt down the monster. Here the player can also buy better guns and upgrade his ship. At the harbor the player can also take on missions. Missions usually involve sailing to a certain area and gunning down enemies from the deck of your ship. Maneuvering the ship and fighting off the enemies can’t be done at the same time. If fighting enemies the player can move freely across the deck of the ship.

Play Deep Water on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Deep Water 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).

Deep Water 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 Deep Water like you would on any PC.
