How to play Regions on Mac

Game summary

Regions is an abstract, minimal puzzle game about drawing paths and understanding geometry. The 6 x 6 playing field is divided into different regions and your task is to draw a path that covers only one square of each. Later levels introduce regions that have different mechanics to keep things interesting across 160 levels. Regions also features a dynamic soundtrack that responds to how you play. Also included is a level editor that unlocks after the entirety of the game is completed (or when a secret code is entered). It isn't a fully polished product, but it's in the game for those who want to mess around with the same tools that were used to make the game. A color blind option is also available. Update: As of March 17th, 2020, this game is now free.
First released: Jun 2015

Play Regions on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Regions 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).

Regions 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 Regions like you would on any PC.
