A note on older hardware

This game uses Unreal Engine 5 rendering features that require Shader Model 6.

On graphics cards without that support the game will start, but the picture will

look washed out and almost white.

If that happens, update your graphics driver first — older drivers sometimes fail

to expose Shader Model 6 even on cards that support it.

For the same reason, the game will not display correctly inside a virtual machine

such as Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox.

System requirements (macOS)

• Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Intel Macs are not supported.
• macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer
• About 1 GB of free disk space

First launch

This game is not notarized by Apple, so macOS will block it the first time you open it, sometimes with a misleading message saying the app is damaged. It isn't.

To run it: double-click the app, dismiss the warning, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security. Near the bottom you'll find a notice about the blocked app with an "Open Anyway" button. After that it launches normally.
