Game summary
Ex-police detective Sam Dehaven is chasing after a deranged serial killer, nicknamed The Bear. The case, which involves the gruesome kidnapping and murder of a number of young girls, has left a significant emotional toll on the old detective. He is obsessed by the case as The Bear has ruined his own life and he will stop at nothing to get revenge, but he is running short on leads and hope. Standing in the pouring rain amidst a deserted alleyway, Sam ponders his next move.

But Sam cannot resist investigating. Little does he know, everything is about to change…

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