How to play Scopic on Mac

Game summary

Welcome to the planet Novum! Your ship has just arrived within long-range-teleportation distance of the surface and you better get ready to explore. Millions of miles from home, with Earth in Environmental and political disarray, you (and other explorers like you) must explore this and other planets to discover the answer to the question: can this planet support human life? Discover secrets, collect specimens, unlock portals, and solve puzzles to find new areas of this beautiful planet. Exploration is the only way to find new species of plants, animals, new types of minerals, and even uncover artifacts that could be remnants of ancient civilizations. Get going explorer, and remember the people of Earth are always watching! Scope is a virtual reality experience that centers around exploration and discovery. It involves a linear progression through the sections of each planet, in which the player solves puzzles and collects objects to reach the next section and experiences the narrative of the game along the way primarily through communication with a scientist from Earth. Once the story is over, the player is able to go back to any place they have visited and continue their exploration for as long as they wish.

Play Scopic on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Scopic 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).

Scopic 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 Scopic like you would on any PC.
