As of MacOS Catalina, Macintosh computers no longer support 32-bit Apps. This is unfortunate, because the Eschalon series is written in a defunct language called BlitzMax, which is no longer supported and never had a 64-bit compiler.
What that means is the Eschalon games are not going to work on the latest version of MacOS. Perhaps some clever person will develop a 32-bit emulator for Catalina that will allow apps like Eschalon to run? Until then, your only option is to play it on an older MacOS, or on a different platform altogether.
If we find a solution that works, we’ll be sure to post it here.

I honestly didn’t know BlitzMax went fully open source. The last time I checked with the original developer a few years ago, it was pretty much abandoned. We’ll take a look and see what it will take to recompile Eschalon in x64. There are other dependencies that may not compile properly, but we’ll give it a shot.

Hello from Germany,
How did this adventure turn out? I am really curious, did BMX-NG work for you?
All the best,

Just finished the first instalment of Eschalon and wanted to say thank you to the devs for making such an entertaining game with fun story and interesting mechanics. I hope to play the next two games soon when I have some spare money! Thank you again.
