How to play No Wave on Mac
Game summary
No Wave is a tribute game to New York in the 80's and its noisy bands : Sonic Youth, Swans, Birthday Party, Foetus, etc.
You are Jim, a man from Brooklyn. You discover the underground life of New York. Someone told you to go out, but you're asking "Why?". And the answer is: "Life is in the streets, in music, not only in your flat". You decide to visit one of these clubs known for their wild side. They are repulsive but attractive in many aspects. So there you are, ready to try anything.

Play No Wave on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play No Wave 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).
No Wave installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install No Wave like you would on any PC.
