Wildermyth
Lead a band of ordinary heroes on an epic fantasy adventure across generations, where every character ages, builds relationships, and can permanently die. Its procedural storytelling ensures no two campaigns are ever the same, creating a unique legacy for your heroes.
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.
