Its a bit tricky to discuss the plot without giving away too many spoilers, but it soon becomes apparent that theres something weird going on - either in the mansion itself, or in the mind of the painter.

Apps For Games Mac Games For

Weve collected the 129 best Mac games for your delectation, dividing them for the sake of convenience into 10 categories.

The newest entry is Minion Masters, a frantic and compelling multiplayer card game with 3D graphics.

Admittedly, Gone North Games isnt the most well-known developer, consisting of a group of former students in Sweden, whose biggest hit seems to have been 2014s Goat Simulator.

A Story About My Uncle was also released on PC in 2014, although the Mac version took a few years to arrive, and is now available on Steam.

There are alien encounters as well, but this is a strictly non-violent game, so rather than killing everything in sight, you can interact with the beings you meet, learn about their own stories, and maybe pick up a few clues about your uncle as well.

Who needs fancy 3D graphic engines when you have this kind of gorgeous hand-drawn artwork Team Stoic has proved you dont need a monster-computer to have your breath taken away by graphics.

Taking clear inspiration from the Oregon Trail (but with Vikings and monsters) you lead a caravan across a dying world in search of safety and supplies.

Gameplay takes place across different sections of travel, decision-making and combat, which all blend smoothly together.

Apps For Games Free To Manage

You are free to manage your war party and different characters and classes have varying stats and special abilities.

Special mention must also be made of the music, which is haunting and epic by turns, as required.

We also found the dialogue to be witty and humorous, adding some levity to the grim surroundings.

The final battle and events set the stage for even more to come in chapter 2.

If the 8-10 hour journey doesnt satisfy you the first time around, you can play again and make different choices, ending up with significantly different outcomes and endings.

However, the iOS version isnt around any more - the tale of CBEs travails with its original publisher is an epic all by itself - and the current version of the game has been updated and expanded into a more complex adventure game for Macs and Windows PCs.

But as your ship approaches its destination you are woken from cryogenic sleep to discover that the ship has been damaged and that the rest of the crew are dead.

That leaves you on your own to repair the ship and then to uncover the mysteries of this new solar system.

Instead of simply wandering from room to room and using the standard point-and-click control system to manipulate objects, the game also allows you to interact with J.U.L.I.A.

You can also use your computer systems to examine the solar system around you, to upgrade Mobot, or make repairs to your ship.

And, of course, theres the central search for alien life that keeps the plot moving forward, eventually presenting you with a dilemma that will determine whether or not you ever return home to Earth.

However, Layers Of Fear is Aspyrs first original game, and was developed in conjunction with Polish developers Bloober Team, who claim to specialise in psychological horror games.

And, like many adventure games, Layers Of Fear throws you in at the deep end, with little information about whats going on, or what you need to do next.

That leaves you to wander from room to room, clicking on various objects that act as clues to the story that unfolds around you.

Doors slam shut behind you, or may even vanish altogether, trapping you in a room or forcing you to keep moving forward.
