Game summary
What is Sandman Academy?
Sandman Academy is a video game based on a mythical creature called Sandman. In Sandman Academy you will play as an apprentice who is trying to graduate from the academy.
As a player you move around the test rooms solving puzzles to provide sleeper better dreams and you are being evaluated by your decisions. Causing chaos and destroying objects leads to lower grade so you must consider in detail how you proceed.
Dear apprentice,
You've been taught in the ancient ways of the fabled Sandman, helping people sleep and giving them sweet dreams, and now the time has come for your final test...
Grab your light, journal and nightcap, it's time to finish your degree in the Sandman Academy.
Sincerely,
John Blund

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