Play The Mimic on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play The Mimic 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 Mimic 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 Mimic like you would on any PC.

🕹 Editor's notes

The Mimic is the perfect option for those who love to play horror games. It went viral on social media when users started uploading scary clips from the game.

The Mimic is a game developed by MUCDICH on Roblox, a platform where people can play games for free and develop new content. Roblox allows you to create new games and share them with its users worldwide.

Mimic is renowned for having the scariest screenplay and sound, with a spooky ambiance. This game is no less than a horror movie with regards to its effects.

Plot

Just like in most horror movies and games, the objective is to get out alive from scary situations. In The Mimic, you have to enter a mystery door and try to get out of there alive, which you can only do by finding a hidden key.

The game has been created based on four stories from Japanese history, combined with urban legends. Each story has a chapter in the game, and each chapter has different characters and mysterious worlds.

You have the option to play either single or multiplayer. As you go around in search of the key, there will be jump-scares to try and freak you out. If you are not careful, you will die, and the game will end.

This game was initially developed to be a children’s game, but most users find the gameplay super scary. Users have been surprised that the game was cleared to be a children’s game.

Gameplay

There are four chapters in this game – Chapters 1-4. You enter a school and search for a key in the first chapter. The screen is pitch-black, and you can only have a flashlight to help you see.

You go searching in all the rooms, the swimming pool, the gym, etc., to find the key. Your objective is to locate the basement in Chapter 1. You will discover letters pasted on the walls and floors to give you tips.
