The devs mentioned they're not currently looking into it. The game uses Vulkan which isn't supported by MacOS, so they'd have to write a whole second renderer just for Mac. It is also available on linux.

MoltenVK should make it possible to port to Mac. Curious that it uses Vulkan and not wgpu.

  The renderer is too complex to run on MoltenVK correctly. See https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4425436888445659159/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4425436...

    Bummer to read that MoltenVK is too buggy to use. ISTR that neither wgpu nor Dawn use it though in favor of their own WebGPU -> Metal backends, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Vulkan is a powerful API but it’s not universally cross platform like OpenGL.

  WGPU doesn't expose a lot of modern GPU features and also introduces a bunch of CPU overhead that you don't get targeting Vulkan directly.
