How to play Rookfall on Mac

Game summary

Somehow you got to this game in the sea of apps. Congrats. Rookfall isn't a game you've seen before. It's hard. It's not covered with berries or shiny baubles. I didn't have the money or stomach for that. I created Rookfall to intrigue and challenge the "hard core" game audience. I used very little money to make it. It's not pretty but there's plenty of content, a form of progression, a difficulty curve, and the core puzzle is oddly compelling. You'll have a hard time at first, but with some practice you'll develop some strategy. Due to the nature of the puzzle, solutions come in satisfying epiphanies. You'll think hard, get frustrated, maybe have to come back to it later, but then finally see the light for some delicious dopamine. Mmmmm dopamine. Have fun.

Play Rookfall on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Rookfall 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).

Rookfall 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 Rookfall like you would on any PC.
