How to play Shiftlings on Mac

Game summary
Shiftlings is the universally (and we mean that literally) popular hyper-show that has our two tenacious tech’s bravely battle blunders and booboos through the most zany and exotic locales of the known universe. Shift work at its best.
Jump into the thick of things and take control of either (or both) of our state of the art custodial clones and jump, push, puzzle, and giggle-snort your way through over 50 levels of shenanigans and insanity through five gorgeous, quirky, and hilariously narrated worlds. Come make new friends (or dispose of old ones). Accidentally conjoined but happily inseparable, team work and mayhem are the only way to get the job done on Shiftlings as you shift the bulk between the two characters to solve mind-boggling puzzles and death-defying traps.

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