Hot on the heels of the Legionwood Mac port that was released last week, One Night has now been ported to Mac OS thanks to the efforts of the Jammed Gears Productions team, finally making it possible to enjoy some good old fashioned survival horror on a MacBook. I don’t know anything about Macs or … Read more
Legionwood Mac Port released!
Attention Mac owners: I’m pleased to announce that Legionwood has now been ported to Mac OS, thanks to the efforts of Jammed Gears Productions, a Youtube based team whose mission is to make indie games more accessible to non-Windows players.
