Game summary

You are a wandering mercenary, lead to the small town of Tarnhill by rumors of conflict between The Order, a well-equipped religious monarchy, and The Front, the rag tag resistance movement. The town is under martial law. Framed for looting, you have been disarmed and hauled away by a couple of Order Acolytes to the local sewage plant for questioning. Actually, they intend to execute you quickly and dispose of your remains in the muck. What they didn't expect, though, is the knife you keep concealed for situations just like this one...

Play Strife: Quest for the Sigil on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Strife: Quest for the Sigil 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).
