Beholder 3 for Mac
As promised I would put up another game port :) Well here it is: Beholder 3 for Mac! In Beholder 3 a totalitarian state that controls everything and everyone through oppressive laws, total surveillance, and intimidation (mmmm this sounds familiar…) forces you to work for them. Can you get your old life back, or even something better? Will you fight for change and truth or uphold the status quo? Who are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want?
I tested the game in Porting Kit and Parallels Desktop on my Apple Silicon Macbook Pro, and works pretty well (I did turn off bloom in the video settings and v-sync to smoothen things up but you can turn off more stuff as well if you are more demanding). Also on start-up you get a message box about a dll, but simply click “ok” to launch the game (is same in Windows). Have fun!
Beholder 3 is now 45% off at GOG.com, so if you want to check the game out, now is te change to get it cheap!
