Is it playable on MacBook Pro 2015?
Yeah, I'm using Mac, mainly for work but it's the best machine I have. I also have a windows pc but it's old and i'm not really plan to upgrade it soon. I'm not even a pc gamer but I wanted to play this since Konami broke my heart last year.

According to store's page the minimuim CPU is
3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

My CPU is 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
but can "turbo boost" up to 4.0 GHz (according to this link)

Is it even playable? or safe ot play it on my Mac?

You should be able to run it for sure, if not after purchase you can refund it, im sure the devs would understand a refund for a game that might be a 50/50 shot on your computer, But it is worth buying now cause i believe the early access price is cheaper than the full release once it's released, So if you happen to have a comp that can for sure run it i.e ("WIndows/Linux") then it is still worth buying and keeping for your other computer now rather than later. Hope all goes well, Cheers

Thanks, dude. It's run not too bad for non gaming laptop. I'm guessing the frame rate is about 25-30+ on medium since it's not veryy smooth but very playable. lower the resolution really helps but the jaggy edges with in game camera shaking really gives me a dizzy.

No prob, glad it works, i'm sure game will have more optimization for mac when it's launched :D enjoy your time in hell. Pack your bags cause it's gonna be a trip.

It actually runs quite well on that machine BUT you have to make sure the dedicated GPU is the only one running. Turn off "automatic graphics switching" in the "energy saving" menu on OSX.

I'd say keep the settings at default as well, and make sure you are wearing headphones! Laptop speakers ruin the atmosphere for me.
