Is Dread Hunger available on Mac?
Not on Mac, but you can play it in the cloud. Dread Hunger has no macOS version, and there is not enough evidence that the Windows build runs through a compatibility layer: ProtonDB has it at Gold from only 11 reports. We would rather say so than guess. You can still play it on any Mac, Intel included, with cloud gaming on NVIDIA's GeForce NOW, if you own it on Steam (details below).
