How to play The Dead Linger on Mac
Game summary
The Dead linger is a zombie survival game where you have to scavange goods in order to survive. The Dead Linger have an infected feature where you become a zombie if not treated, however it can be treated with medicine whichs only delays the inevitable. You as a surivor has to defend yourself in a post apocalyptic world that is randomly generated, with hordes of zombies at your tail.
In january 2015 Sandswept changed their plans of a random generated "planet sized" world because they could not pull it off properly in Unity. They switched to UnrealEngine 4 and created a fixed map called "Pepper Valley" which is 18x18km. Their goal is to create a realistic and well designed map, which can be modded via Watertower, a house made modding tool with planned workshop support.
Play The Dead Linger on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play The Dead Linger 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).
