How to play Ihatovo Monogatari on Mac
Game summary
The story depicts the action as taking place in the utopian world of Ihatovo.
The game focuses on collecting information (notebooks from Miyazawa's fairy tales) and items (that are related to those fairy tales) instead of fighting monsters. Some of the surprises that the player finds includes a movie theater that is always closed, the opportunity to play the role of a temporary school teacher, and having portraits of unique non-player characters that show up while talking to them.
Inspired by the stories of Kenji Miyazawa, the story covers nine chapters and surreal environments.
First released: Mar 1993
Play Ihatovo Monogatari on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Ihatovo Monogatari 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).
