What is the GameTree Download Manager?
The GameTree Download Manager (GameTreeDM) is an application that assists users with their GameTree Mac purchase experience. As games can be quite large, this offers the ability to pause and resume downloads at any time. In the event of any download interruption, the GameTreeDM will continue where it left off and verify its progress along the way to ensure that your download is completed successfully.

Your download will begin and you will have the option to Pause or Abort it.
When a download is complete, the GameTreeDM will automatically open the game image (DMG), presenting the game as ready to be installed by the user. Simply proceed with the presented installation process to complete installation of your game. You can then exit the GameTreeDM application and eject (unmount) your mounted game's DMG, and launch the game from your Applications folder, just like any other Mac application download.
Where are downloaded games saved to?
By default, all downloaded games are saved to the Downloads folder on your Mac, located in your home directory. If your Downloads folder does not exist, the GameTreeDM will create it for you.
