Heads up: Boosteroid streams the game but doesn't include a copy — you'll still need to own Genesis Noir on a supported store (AllKeyShop).
Genesis Noir
A noir adventure spanning time and space. When a love triangle between cosmic beings becomes a bitter confrontation, you'll witness a gunshot fired by a jealous god—otherwise known as The Big Bang. Jump into the expanding universe and search for a way to destroy creation and save your love.
Genesis Noir does not have a native Apple Silicon version and requires cloud streaming or Windows translation layers to run. Boosteroid provides the most stable visual experience without the thermal load of local emulation.

How to run Genesis Noir on Mac with Boosteroid
