How to play Strip Poker Night at the Inventory on Mac

Game summary

Strip Poker Night at the Inventory (SPNATI) was first developed by Joseph Kantel, who designed a small Javascript mockup game based on a choose-your-own-adventure fanfiction work. The original version of the project appeared in August 2015 featuring the four video game characters Lilith (Borderlands), Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Elizabeth (BioShock Infinite), and Zoey (Left 4 Dead), who were the girls featured in the fanfiction story. The project died out, but it was rediscovered in August 2016 and exploded in popularity, with new characters being added and the community you see today being formed. To date, over 200 characters (in various states of completion) have been made for SPNATI.
First released: Aug 2015

Play Strip Poker Night at the Inventory on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Strip Poker Night at the Inventory 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).
