How to play Ricerca VR on Mac

Game summary
RICERCA, which in Italian means “search,” is an animated installation experience. In it, we follow the life of a man on a search who travels through different memories and worlds to find something he has lost. This film is experienced on 5 different projection screens in a virtual gallery space with custom-designed surround sound, effectively immersing the viewers and allowing them to actively participate in their own individual experiences of searching through time. Ricerca pushes boundaries in storytelling by using physical space- aligning sound design to specific parts of the room, inviting viewers to walk in, around and out the film, and defying linear format in a looped 12 minute experience.

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