Game summary
Earth is gone, and the wake of its destruction is expanding outwards, towards your interstellar ark. A thousand refugees have put their faith in Aurora, a sophisticated artificial intelligence that you, the player, must control. Equipped only with sub-light speed propulsion, you plot century long voyages through the grim black reaches of interstellar space. Generations of people live and die aboard the small confines of your vessel. Humanity’s only chance for survival is to flee from one star system to another, gathering vital resources along the way. The critical choices you make will have consequences for generations to come.
Play SubLight on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play SubLight 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).
SubLight 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 SubLight like you would on any PC.
