FOOL

A choice-driven romance-mystery visual novel set in the Wild West. Choose your partner and investigate the town's secrets to uncover the Eldritchian horror that plagues Cortez Creek.

FOOL is currently unsupported natively on macOS; virtualization via Parallels is the only reliable way to play on Apple Silicon.

What the world thinks

  1. Install Parallels Desktop and set up a Windows 11 Home/Pro ARM instance.
  2. In the Windows Settings, ensure 'Windows Insider Program' is NOT required, as standard retail builds handle the x64 emulation for this game well.
  3. Install the Steam client within the Windows VM.
  4. Download and launch FOOL.
  5. In the Parallels Configuration, allocate at least 4 CPU Cores and 8GB of RAM to the VM for smooth UI transitions.
