Official Answer: No macOS Version
The developer's official pinned post on the itch.io community (captured 2026-08-11) says it directly:
"No, there is no version for macOS at this time." — YeahMaybe, official itch.io community post (itch.io/t/6771357)
The official game page supports only Windows and Linux — there is no macOS installer. A third-party "Choicer Voicer for Mac" file is therefore not an official build. Do not run an unverified executable or provide account or payment information on a look-alike page.
Why Is There No Mac Version?
In the official devlog "Answering Recent Questions" (2026-08-04,devlog link), the developer answered a dedicated Mac question. The key points:
- A Mac version was originally planned, but macOS exporting and signing (notarization) is extremely tedious — the developer cites Godot's official macOS export documentation to explain the difficulty.
- Player-side friction: macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned / unnotarized apps, so players would need extra steps just to open the game — a poor experience.
- The developer's bottom line: it is "more work than it's worth" (official fact baseline).
Background: the game is built with the Godot Engine (the official page also mentions Godot's audio limitations). For reference, Godot's own macOS export guide is the standard documentation — verify the developer's linked page in the devlog before citing it.
Mac Workarounds: Boot Camp, Virtual Machines, Cloud PCs
These are community workarounds — not officially supported. TCV is a microphone-first party game (hear a clip → mimic it → judges score you), so every option must be tested for mic passthrough and latency:
| Option | How it works | Best for | Risks / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows dual boot (Boot Camp) | Install a Windows partition on an Intel Mac and run the game natively. | Intel Mac users | Apple Silicon (M1–M4) Macs are not supported by Boot Camp; needs free disk space. |
| Virtual machine (Parallels Desktop / UTM / VMware Fusion) | Run a Windows VM inside macOS. | Apple Silicon and Intel Macs | Mic passthrough must be tested per product; performance loss; voice-game latency can suffer with long VM audio chains. |
| Cloud PC (e.g. Shadow PC) | Full Windows cloud desktop, accessed remotely from your Mac. | Users who do not want a local VM | Monthly fee; network latency directly affects mic gameplay. Note: GeForce NOW only supports whitelisted games — TCV is not among them. |
| Wait / request a Mac version | — | Users in no hurry | The developer has called a Mac port "more work than it's worth" for now. |
Recommendation: before paying anything, use the freeNo Gameplay Demo 0.5.0 (mic test only, Windows/Linux desktop program) inside your chosen workaround to confirm the microphone records correctly. Then buy the full game ($5 minimum, name your own price).
