How to play MechCube: Dark Stories on Mac

Game summary

This is the second point-and-click game from the MechCube series - a truly titanic structure discovered by an ill-fated expedition in the ancient ice of Antarctica. The Cube consists of many rooms; in the center of each room there is a puzzle device; once you solve the puzzle you can unlock the doors to the adjacent rooms. But be careful! The space and time inside the Cube are intermixed; an open door can lead you to prehistoric Earth, to a dimension of unimaginable horror, or into the vacuum of open space!

Play MechCube: Dark Stories on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play MechCube: Dark Stories 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).

MechCube: Dark Stories installation steps for Mac

Step 1
