Before you start!

OS Compatibility:
- You MUST be on MacOS 14.5 Sonoma - 15+ Sequoia.
Files to Download:
Download the Game: Link
Extract it using Unarchiver or double clicking it should extract as well.
Uninstall HomeBrew + Wine Stable if installed already:
- This will uninstall Homebrew (This is one whole line, not 2 lines):
  /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"
- Wine Stable needs to be moved from Applications -> Trash

Installing

Step 1: Install Homebrew

(This is one whole line, not 2 lines)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
You will be prompted to type in your password. This is the password that you use to get into your Mac.

Step 2: Setup Homebrew Variables

IF your terminal for next steps just says Run brew help like below, then you are good to go to the next step. Don’t copy and paste anything.

The terminal will ALWAYS tell you what commands to run afterwards. This will be different for every user so make sure you follow what the terminal says and copy and paste it exactly!

1st Command make sure to copy the whole line starting from (echo all the way to the end including the >> and everything after.
2nd Command will be: eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

IF you get the error: no such file or directory: /opt/homebrew/bin/brew

This means you have an old Intel Mac. You have to replace the commands for the above steps to use: eval "$(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)"

Step 3: Homebrew Path

Command to paste:
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH"
If you using Intel Mac, Command to paste:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Note: This doesn’t run a command after pressing ENTER. Just sets up homebrew to be found on your Mac.

Step 4: Use Homebrew for Wine

Command to paste:
brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

As of 5/06/24: This step seems to be skippable. If you get the message: homebrew/cask-versions was deprecated. This tab is now empty and all its contents were either deleted or migrated., go to step 5.

IF you are getting brew not found error:

Try this first:
echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
- If it still says not found, try this:
  echo 'eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)' >> $HOME/.zprofile
  source ~/.zprofile

As mentioned above, Mac Models are all different, so the same command won’t work for all models.

Step 5. Install Wine

Command to paste:
brew install --cask --no-quarantine wine-stable
- If you get the message: Error: It seems there is already a Binary at '/opt/homebrew/bin/appdb'.
Go here: /opt/homebrew/bin/
- Open finder
- Press command + shift + g
- Paste in /opt/homebrew/bin/
Delete everything except brew and rerun #5
If you get this error: Error: wine-stable: It seems the App source '/Applications/Wine Stable.app' is not there
- brew uninstall --force wine-stable
  - If uninstall gives an error that says it isn't there or definition is invalid, that is fine.
- rm -r "$(brew --prefix)/Caskroom/wine-stable"
- brew install --force wine-stable
If you get an error that Wine is not compatible with your OS, you need to upgrade the OS or install WineSkin without Wine.
If you get the error requires Rosetta 2 to be installed paste the command it gives you

Step 6: Open Game.exe with Wine

As of Wine 10.0 that came out 1/25/2025, the steps below to open the game might not work.

Old way to Open

Open the game folder in finder and Right click Game.exe and Open With Wine Stable
Click Cancel on any warnings you get. This is because we are using a workaround to play on Mac, so the game’s publisher is being marked as “Unverified”

New way to Open

Hold Control and click to the right side of the name of the folder. You should see this dropdown
Select New Terminal at Folder
If it worked correctly, it opens a terminal to the InfiniteFusion folder
Type wine Game.exe and it will open

Updating

Hold control and click the InfiniteFusion folder
Click New Terminal at Folder
Type wine INSTALL_OR_UPDATE.bat and press enter.
- This means that the files are updating. The duration of this is dependant on your internet strength.

Save Location

This path doesn’t exist until you play the game and create a save file yourself.

Open finder
Press command + shift + g
Replace YOURNAME with the name of your Mac User in the path below:
/Users/YOURNAME/.wine/drive_c/users/YOURNAME/AppData/Roaming/infinitefusion
Paste it into Finder and Press Enter
This is where your save files are stored and you can move other save files you have here
