How to play Dunkle Schatten on Mac

Game summary

Dunkle Schatten ("Dark Shadows") is a point-and-click adventure. It was distributed for free by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior as a "countermeasure" against violence and anti-semitism. Karsten and his friends are helping to build a youth centre in their free time. But soon the peace in the town is disturbed by racially-motivated crimes. What started as graffiti on the school wall ends in an arson attack on a local shop from a turkish immigrant. Even the opening of the youth centre is at risk. Karsten and his friends try to find the ones who are responsible for the crimes.
First released: Dec 1994

Play Dunkle Schatten on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Dunkle Schatten 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).

Dunkle Schatten installation steps for Mac
