My Time at Portia
In My Time at Portia, you inherit a workshop and must fulfill commissions by gathering resources and crafting items. This charming life-sim blends town building and relationship simulation with a post-apocalyptic setting and a touch of mystery.
A native macOS version of this life sim RPG is available but uses OpenGL and may have issues. The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
