How to play Eden on Mac

Game summary

Eden is a game that's a bit hard to describe. You could say it's one part action game and two parts dating simulator, plus a teeny tiny bit of "stealth mission" thrown in. And the creator freely admits that while she's tried to tell a nice story, gameplay (and occasional silliness) sometimes takes precedent over logic here. Eden is also a game containing many secrets. Six known endings. Several achievements. Various subtle and not-so-subtle story and gameplay differences that depend on the choices you make. Be warned, though: once you commit to a choice, there's no turning back. At least not until the next playthrough. Good luck, and enjoy!

Play Eden on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Eden 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).

Eden 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 Eden like you would on any PC.
