The Hunting God

The Hunting God is a short walking simulator in which you play as Nodens the hunting god and listen to what he has been through accompanied by a white wolf named Draiochta.

The Hunting God is not natively supported on macOS; streaming via Boosteroid is the only reliable way to play without graphical artifacts.

What the world thinks

  • CrossOver / Whisky: The game uses the Unreal Engine. If attempting this locally, use a bottle with D3DMetal (GPTK) enabled. Note that graphical glitches in the lighting engine can occur on M-series chips.
  • Parallels Desktop: Due to the relatively low hardware requirements, the game runs at 30-45 FPS on an M1/M2 Pro within a Windows 11 VM, though this is the most resource-intensive method for your Mac.

How to run The Hunting God on Mac with Parallels

EstimateΒ· Compatibility

Using Parallels to play The Hunting God means running a full copy of Windows 11 ARM inside macOS. This is the most "it just works" approach for games that don't behave under CrossOver, and DirectX 11 is hardware-accelerated. You'll need a Windows license and roughly 80 GB of disk space.

Step-by-step

  1. Buy / start a trial of Parallels Desktop.
  2. Install Windows 11 ARM via the one-click wizard.
  3. Inside Windows, install Steam / Xbox app and The Hunting God.
  4. Enable DirectX 11 in Parallels settings for best 3D performance.

How to run The Hunting God on Mac with Boosteroid

EstimateΒ· Streaming

Streaming The Hunting God through Boosteroid is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac β€” there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer. The game runs on a remote GPU and your Mac just receives the video, which means even a base M1 MacBook Air can play the most demanding AAA titles at high settings. The tradeoff is that you need a stable internet connection (ideally wired or 5GHz Wi-Fi with 25+ Mbps down) and a subscription.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a Boosteroid account and pick a plan.
  2. Use the web client or download the macOS app.
  3. Add The Hunting God from their library (you'll need to own it on Steam/Epic).
