Game summary

RENOIR is a story-driven 2.5D puzzle platformer that draws a deep drag of inspiration from film noir genre — the classic Hollywood crime dramas from the 1940s and 50s. Our mission is to drench our video game in that one-and-only mood and aesthetic of the film noir, while adding our own unique flavor to the mix: the characters, the gameplay and, of course, the story… James Renoir is a private detective with a dark knot of a past struggling to stay afloat in a city sunk to the floor by crime and corruption. As a former police detective, Renoir makes his living doing the only thing he knows: investigating, digging, exposing... until the day he is shot by a who-knows-who and left to die with the gunshot echo of a why... Renoir was acquired from Soulbound Games by 1C Company before August 2016. Black Wing Foundation became the new developer and the title Following the switch of the developer, Renoir faced some considerable changes in: level design, core features, the story, graphics.
First released: Nov 2016

Play Renoir on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Renoir 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).

Renoir 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 Renoir like you would on any PC.
