How to play Ominous! on Mac

Game summary

Ever have one of those days? You know, when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed chained to a hexagram? It happens to everyone, right? Well, it's happening to Murphy. The problem is he doesn't know how he got there. Or who might want to put him in such a predicament. Or if those orbs are really blood red or just a mildly unsettling shade of vermilion. This is where you come in. You see, Murphy needs help recalling all the signs and portends that may have led him to where he is now. After all, it's not like he's one of those heroes he may have heard about. No. Just an unpaid intern, and not necessarily the brightest of the bunch, even. It could be that he MAY have done something. Then again, things just have a habit of HAPPENING around Murphy. Regardless, you'll guide him through his village, through creepy back rooms of shady establishments, and through his own faulty memory to find the truth in this Adventure/RPG. Just try not to get him killed too much along the way.

Play Ominous! on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Ominous! 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).
