Game summary

Set in a horrendously blue world, STARBO tells you the story of a dead man's journey through the mysteriously deep tunnels of the blue world, filled with strange messages and beings all trying to tell you a story, the story. Leo Cornell was just another regular working-class guy, trying to make a living under horrendous circumstances due to his evil patronizing boss, Jorge Blue. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the very same day that Leo got himself fired, he also realised that his very own existence had come to an end. With all of these thoughts in mind, Leo would soon begin a brand new journey through unexplored corridors far beyond the set reality he once knew. STARBO is a first-person adventure-horror experience, made to get you involved in the fast-paced storytelling that envolves Leo Cornell's horrifying story. You'll get to explore a brand new world, find hidden keys and solve puzzles all under the pressure of bloodthirsty creatures wanting nothing other than your failure.

Play STARBO on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play STARBO 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).

STARBO 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 STARBO like you would on any PC.
