Esiayo is the creator of Mythic, a groundbreaking open-source macOS game launcher that enables users to play Windows games seamlessly on Mac devices. Built with a custom implementation of Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit and powered by Wine and Apple’s D3DMetal, Mythic translates Windows DirectX API calls into macOS Metal—delivering high performance without emulation.


In a space long dominated by Windows, Mythic opens the door for Mac users to experience a wider gaming ecosystem. Its elegant, user-friendly interface makes complex setup processes effortless, offering integrated support for major platforms like Epic Games and, soon, Steam—all while remaining completely free and open-source.


Frustrated by the technical barriers facing Mac gamers, Esiayo set out at just fifteen years old to build a tool that automated every step—from configuration to gameplay—in under ten minutes. Today, Mythic stands as a testament to his ingenuity, persistence, and passion for making technology more accessible and enjoyable for all.
