How to play Obduction on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
Obduction is a first person puzzle game in the vein of Myst and Riven, set in a presumably new universe and marking a triumphant return to the genre by Cyan Worlds, pioneers of the genre in it's infancy. Obduction is being designed in Unreal Engine 4, and according to Cyan Worlds will be making a return to the full motion video acted sequences seen in the early Myst series games.
"From Cyan, the indie studio that brought you Myst and Riven comes a whole new adventure that will become your world.
The new worlds of Obduction reveal their secrets only as you explore, coax, and consider them. And as you bask in the otherworldly beauty and explore through the enigmatic landscapes, remember that the choices you make will have substantial consequences. This is your story now."

Play Obduction on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Obduction 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).
Obduction installation steps for Mac
Step 1

Step 4
