Game summary
A lonely writer wakes up in the middle of the night. He doesn’t feel like he’s about to fall back asleep, so he gets up to have a drink. Something doesn’t feel quite right, though. What he doesn’t know is that he’s in a loop, stuck forever in an endless loop of the same mundane events at the hands of a mysterious ghastly clown figure. But not everything is as it seems. There are clues, riddles scattered around the false world of this insane dream, and it’s up to you to guide the protagonist into solving the puzzles laid out before him and escape from the loop!

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