Game summary

Ishara named herself after a fabled sea witch to instill fear in all she encountered, which is the path of an exiled woman looking to turn to piracy. She needs one thing first, and that's a ship. If only she didn't need her family to get to it. Choose between two separate story branches depending on who Ishara gets stuck with, her hated twin sister Cendre or her sister's deceptive fiancé Félix. Totalling 36,000 words, features include two hours of playtime, a battle mini-game, partial voice acting (for battles), and 4 endings. Ishara: Bane of the Seas was made in one month for NaNoRenO '15, a visual novel game jam.

Play Ishara: Bane of the Seas on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Ishara: Bane of the Seas 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).
