I was just looking at this thinking it would be fun to play with my wife, and then realized its windows only. When does the mac version come out?!

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.

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.
