September 17, 2025
AUSTIN, TX – September 17, 2025 – Duality Interactive is thrilled to announce that the critically acclaimed psychological horror visual novel, SkullX: Aibohphobia, is now available for the first time on Apple's Mac App Store. Developed by the talented teams at SkullX Holding Limited and DSTRCT Creatives Studio, this release marks a significant milestone in bringing the immersive, choice-driven narrative to a new audience of Mac gamers.
SkullX: Aibohphobia is the first chapter in an ambitious, six-part saga. This dark and twisted visual novel thrusts players into the heart of a terrifying scenario. As the leader of a mercenary squad, what begins as a routine extraction mission quickly devolves into a desperate fight for survival against a mysterious and inhuman enemy. Each of the six chapters will introduce a new, unique group of characters, but their individual storylines will all intricately connect to weave a larger, overarching narrative. The game combines a deeply branching storyline with pulse-pounding, turn-based combat, all presented through a striking, hand-drawn comic book art style.
The game's arrival on Apple's Mac App Store ensures that a new group of players can experience its compelling story, multiple endings, and intricate character dynamics.
