How to play Marooned: Arcanus Island on Mac

Game summary

Marooned: Arcanus Island is a hardcore, survival, exploration game in which the player - or players (cooperative) - attempt to survive and eventually escape a lush tropical island. You must build a shelter to protect yourself from both the elements and the dangers that the island presents as well as tangle with everything from the wildlife to the islands natives. With beatiful graphics from Crytek's CRYENGINE, you will find yourself immersed in this intense sandbox survival experience. Engross yourself within the single-player story: as the last survivor of a boat lost in a storm, you find yourself washed up on the shore of an island untouched by modern society. With a lush and beautifully detailed tropical island and fleshed out underwater corals, you will find yourself experimenting on how to survive the multiple threats each environment throws at you. If surviving alone is too much of a strain on your mental state, become the victim of a plane crash in an alternative cooperative story - struck down by the same storm - with up to 4 players with a different outcome to the single-player finale.

Play Marooned: Arcanus Island on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Marooned: Arcanus Island 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).
