How to play PICNIC on Mac

Game summary
PICNIC is a 3 dimensional labyrinth game. And this 3 dimensions are not only spatial: The first dimension is the visual dimension, a surreal digital labyrinth in which the user is awaking in the middle of a nightmare. Far away is a kind of bright green plastic hill, this seems to be, close to a strange phony star, the only colorful thing in the monochrome game world. On a wall is something written, inviting the user to go to the green hill, to the "picnic hill". On another wall: The user should listen carefully, THEY will show him/her the way. If the user is "listening carefully", THEY will "show you the way". And actually, if the user is searching a way through the visual labyrinth, THEY appear and THEY are telling something... It seems to be a story... about someone, who is planning to make (the game) picnic or even to have a picnic, but something happens... maybe something very scary...

Play PICNIC on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play PICNIC 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).
PICNIC 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 PICNIC like you would on any PC.
