Hi there, I'm on Mac and wanted to try the game. How do you do it with ScummVM? Can it launch a .exe on a mac?

Hi, the download is a zip-File. You can unpack it and the resulting folder has all the relevant files. Then you just need to point ScummVM to the folder ("Add Game"). ScummVM will (currently) report that the game is an "unknown game variant", but will allow it to add it (click "add anyway"). Then you can rename it from ags-fallback to the correct title. Worked for me and I managed to complete the game this way.

Thanks for this comment. I’ve found this works for most AGS games on a Mac — it’s great that ScummVM added support for the engine. The main hurdle is when you need to get the files out of a Windows installer somehow, but I’m pleased to learn that’s not the case here, so I can play this soon.
