Game summary

Drop Alive is a platformer where you control a little drop of water that can transform into ice and steam to overcome its journey. In this story, you are reborn for unknown reasons and the first thing you see is your old life: The river. Desperate to go back home, you will dangerously turn into steam and ice, and back to water, to get to your old home. This triple state merges three completely styles of gameplay in one single game.

Play Drop Alive on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Drop Alive 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).

Drop Alive 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 Drop Alive like you would on any PC.
