The Invincible is a first-person, story-driven adventure game inspired by the 1964 novel of the same name by Polish author Stanisław Lem. The game is set on the planet Regis III and follows the story of an astrobiologist named Yasna. Yasna is part of a crew that has landed on Regis III to investigate the disappearance of their sister ship. As Yasna, players explore the planet in search of their missing crewmates while facing an unknown threat. The gameplay of “The Invincible” involves exploration, interaction with the environment, and decision-making that can affect the storyline. Players use various tools to search for their missing crew and face unforeseen threats. The game is praised for its engaging story, beautiful design, and immersive atmosphere, with a retro-futuristic art style that brings the hard science fiction world of Stanisław Lem to life. The plot of the game, while based on the novel, is told from a different viewpoint and deals with the same overarching themes. The game’s narrative is philosophical in nature, prompting players to ponder about the universe and the potential threats it poses to human life. The game’s story is slow-burning and takes a while to unfold, but it is thought-provoking and offers multiple narrative possibilities. Unfortunately, The Invincible does not have a native Mac version. However, there are workarounds to play the game on a Mac, such as using cloud gaming platforms like Boosteroid or GeForce Now, or running the game locally on an M1 Mac using CrossOver, a translation layer app.

Colony Ship is a roleplaying game developed by Iron Tower Studio. Its full name, Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game, alludes to the first Fallout game; indeed, they have some things in common. Just like Fallout, Colony Ship is a turn-based isometric game in a gritty, dark setting. As you might’ve guessed, it takes place on a colony ship, a spacefaring vessel that carries humans to a habitable planet somewhere in our galaxy. As faster-than-light travel was proven impossible, this journey will take many centuries. In the meantime, generations of humans will live and die on the ship; one of these humans is you. Unfortunately, everything seems to be going wrong: the ship’s government was overthrown, the armory containing lethal weapons was looted in the chaos, and the hydroponics bay was taken over by mutated plants. Multiple factions have sprung, fighting each other for control of the ship, and you, somehow, have to navigate this mess. This game is available only on Microsoft Windows, but there’s also several ways to play Colony Ship on Mac.

Last Train Home is a real-time strategy game by Ashborne Games. It is set during the last days of the Russian Empire: the civil war between communists and monarchists. But you will not be playing as either of these; instead, you control a group of Czechoslovak soldiers who were stranded in Russia after the end of the first World War. Though you have a train to evacuate on, the aforementioned civil war makes escape a little difficult. Because of this situation, your tactical goals will also be different. There’s no reason to actively engage the enemy, as this conflict has little to do with you anyway, but you ought to preserve your soldiers’ lives at all costs. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can leave your objectives unfulfilled; you will not be able to evacuate if the tracks ahead are destroyed, for example. All things considered, Last Train Home is a fairly unorthodox tactical game with intriguing narrative. However, the game is available only on Microsoft Windows, so not everyone can play it. Thankfully, you can also play Last Train Home on Mac; some unofficial tools were developed for this purpose. Read the article below for an overview of these programs.
