Play Lust for Darkness: Dawn Edition on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Lust for Darkness: Dawn Edition 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.
