Dyson Sphere Program is an automation-focused sandbox game developed by Youthcat Studio. The game is named after a megastructure known as the dyson sphere, an shell of solar panels that completely envelops a star to harvest massive amounts of energy. In our world, constructing such structures is not currently possible, but in Dyson Sphere Program, you will be able to build many of them. As humanity advances, its energy needs grow. This trend held true in the past, and it still holds true in the far future. You are an engineer in charge of the Dyson Sphere Program, a project designed to sate humanity’s ever-growing electricity need. You will be given a whole sector of space to explore and exploit. You will set up automated factories that span entire planets, and logistics networks necessary to allow these factories to supply one another. And eventually, with your industrial might, you will be able to construct dyson spheres. One. Then another. And another after another after another. Currently, the game officially supports only Windows operating system. To play Dyson Sphere Program on Mac, a third-party solution is required. Read about them in the guide below.

Skully is an unusual platforming game where you play as an animated skull. Developed by an indie development studio Finish Line Games, the game received generally positive reviews. Although most animated skulls possess the supernatural power of floating, which helps them look rather ominous, you are not one of them. Your primary option for movement is rolling, alongside hopping and skipping. Luckily, skulls don’t get dizzy, so nothing will stop you from mastering these movement options. Indeed, this will be necessary to solve the game’s platforming and puzzle challenges. In addition to your decidedly un-spooky moves, you have access to three different forms, and can transform between them at will. This is hardly the best magic power a skull can have, but it’s not the worst either – choosing the right form for the job will make your second life a lot easier. Over the course of 18 levels, set in 7 different biomes, you will experience a charming story about a quarrel between several gods. Meanwhile, another deity is trying to end the conflict; this is why you were reanimated in the first place. Skully is available on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Windows. There’s no OS X version, but you can play Skully on Mac anyway; the guide below will explain the specifics.

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is an dieselpunk Metroidvania game from a Chinese developer known as TiGames.

Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game with a focus on singleplayer. It has been developed by KING Art and published by Prime Matter. Set in alternate 1920s, the game features a strong dieselpunk aesthetic. Some might say that it’s quite improbable that nations all over the world would suddenly develop diesel-powered mecha suits, especially as they’re recovering from the Great War. And mecha suits don’t really make sense anyway, I mean, have you ever heard of square-cube law? Why put legs on a tank when you can give it tracks? Iron Harvest has a simple answer to these complains; however improbable, the idea is fun. This is where the arguments end and mecha-powered action begins. A mysterious force is plotting to take over the world, and so, war-ravaged Europe has no choice but to fight once more. Iron giants will march through the devastated landscapes and liberate Europe over the course of three singleplayer campaigns. Iron Harvest also provides a unique option, to play through these campaigns in co-op mode instead. The game is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows. Our guide will allow you to play Iron Harvest on Mac as well. Keep reading to learn more.

Road 96 is a story-driven adventure game developed by Digixart. In this game, you will attempt to escape an oppressive regime by hitchhiking your way to the country’s border. You will encounter an array of colorful characters and memorable events. Choices you make during encounters will affect the rest of your trip.

This ensures that each playthrough will feel fresh and different; this is quite important as you will have to replay the game at least several times in order to finally succeed. As you flee, you will be given the opportunity to understand the world and the people who live in it. You will learn bits and pieces of information, a rumor here, a clue there… putting them together, you will understand how the nation of Petria turned out the way it is. Road 96 released on PS4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows. Mac computers are not supported; not officially, anyway. But there is a way to play Road 96 on Mac despite this. Read the guide below to learn more.

Dorfromantik is a slow-paced, relaxing puzzle game from a German company named Toukana Interactive. Although it is technically a city builder, you will not find any resource management here. There’s no economy, no industry, no power production, no zoning, no housing to worry about… in Dorfromantik’s case, “city-builder” is not the genre, it’s the aesthetic. The gameplay loop is quite simple. You are given a stack of hexagonal tiles that contain things like fields, buildings, or forests. You place these tiles on the game’s board, which increases your score. Placing the tiles in logical clusters will net you extra points. For example, one large field is worth more than many small ones. The amount of tiles you can place is limited; once you’re out of tiles, the game ends. During the course of the game, you will have opportunities to get more tiles by building clusters with specific requirements, thus extending your playthrough. This is invaluable if you care about your score. Officially, Dorfromantik can be played on Windows and the Nintendo Switch. To play Dorfromantik on Mac, you must utilize some unofficial, third-party tool; the guide below will tell you about some of these.

Hydroneer is a base-building sandbox game developed and published by Foulball Hangover. The main focus of the game is automation and mining. Hydroneer’s voxel-based terrain destruction system allows you to dig out massive underground networks in any shape you can imagine. Construct hydraulic machinery to extract valuable resources such as gold, then transport them aboveground for convenience. Extracting resources is profitable enough on its own, but you can do much more. Take all these raw materials you’ve extracted and turn them into actual trade goods such as jewelry. Streamline that inefficient setup you’ve made at the start of the game and expand it to process more stuff at a time. Dig deeper to find rarer, more valuable resources. Should you want to take a break from mining and refining resources, the game also offers several things to do on the side. You can go fishing, or construct automatic fish-catching machinery. Farming is another side activity that was introduced in a recent update, which can also be automated. Hydroneer is currently available only on Windows; there are no plans to port the game on OS X or any game consoles. Nonetheless, it is possible to play Hydroneer on Mac using unofficial software. The guide below provides several options.

The Riftbreaker is a survival-oriented basebuilding game developed by EXOR Studios. The premise of the game is simple. Humanity has developed teleportation technology, which allowed us to colonize distant planets, far away from our solar system. However, this technology has its limits. Although it is possible to teleport things anywhere, they cannot be teleported back; without a rift device on the other side, it’s a one-way trip. This is where riftbreakers come in. They are highly capable individuals who go through these one-way portals and establish all infrastructure necessary to travel back. One such riftbreaker, Ashley S. Nowak, is our protagonist. Armed with a Mecha suit, she is more than capable of withstanding anything alien planets can throw at her. Over the course of the game, Ashley will travel to Galatea 37, a planet rich in many resources but teeming with hostile fauna. She will establish resource-harvesting outposts, power generators, and defensive structures. Eventually, the base will become large enough to build the rift-generating machine, and supply it with the massive amount of power it requires. The Riftbreaker is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows. But you can play The Riftbreaker on Mac too; the guide below will teach you several ways to do this.

Choo-Choo Charles is an unconventional horror game made by an indie developer Two Star Games. You are stranded on an island inhabited by a monstrous spider train named Charles. As it is much faster than any person, foot travel is incredibly dangerous. But you have a train of your own; although it’s just an old steam engine, it will help you traverse the terrain without falling prey to the evil train. You must be wary, however. A train is both an advantage and a weakness. You can go faster this way, sure, but you can only go where tracks are. Want to make a sudden turn? You can’t. Charles, being a hybrid spider-train abomination, does not share this weakness, so it is essential to carefully plan your route in advance. As you aid other people living on this inhospitable island, they’ll reward you with weapons, but also with scrap. This is an upgrade material that can be used to improve your train’s speed, damage, and armor. Eventually, you will become powerful enough to bring the fight back to Charles, killing him and ending his reign once and for all. The game is available only on Windows, but there are several unofficial tools that will allow you to play Choo-Choo Charles on Mac. Read about them in the guide below.

Sable is an open-world adventure game developed by Shedworks and published by Raw Fury. It follows the journey of Sable – the game is named after the protagonist – a young woman who’s traversing a deserted, inhospitable land as her rite of passage. The game does not have a main quest to constantly guide you; instead, you are simply left in the desert, free to explore the world around you at your leisure. It has plenty of mysteries for you to discover. Vast ruins – remnants of bygone civilizations – litter the landscape. Find your way inside, solve the ancient puzzles, and see what’s stored in the databanks of the still-operational machines. Or don’t. In Sable, you explore the world on your own pace. There are collectibles for you to discover, places to explore, quests to complete, and people to help, but the game will not point you towards these things. Pick a direction and go; see what lies on the path you chose for yourself. In 2021, the game released on Xbox One & Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows. In 2022, it received a PS5 release as well. But there are no plans to make it available for Mac. To play Sable on Mac, you will need to use a third-party service; the guide below lists a few of them.
