How to play Sproots on Mac

Game summary
Sproots is a colony survivial game where you control small Pikmin like creatures in a Sims-esque manner
Each 'sproot' is in constant need of food and water. Their camp is always located near a 'life plant' where they gather water, but you'll have to help them out getting food!
Eventually every sproot will die of age (around 60), so be sure to let them breed new eggs on their nest!
During their lifetime they can study objects, learn skills, craft structures and items, and teach each other about their findings!

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