How to play Salaam on Mac

Game summary

Salaam is a high tension runner game that puts a player in the shoes of a refugee forced to flee a war torn region. The game starts with a caravan of refugees walking through the jungle on their way to safety. The setting is peaceful, yet dire, given the circumstances. Parents carrying their children struggle to keep pace with the rest of the group. Your character fades into view. Suddenly, gunshots are fired in the distance! Your family crouches to avoid danger. There is brief pause and silence. More shots are fired and the caravan begins to run. Panic ensues and eventually your character makes way to the front of the group. A military vehicle appears ahead and soldiers fire in your direction. Now alone, your character turns down the nearest path. Thus, the game begins.

Play Salaam on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Salaam 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).

Salaam installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.

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 Salaam like you would on any PC.
