Could you build this?

No Running a closed macOS/Apple Arcade game natively on Windows requires reverse engineering and recompiling proprietary binaries, which needs specialized low-level expertise. It also depends on copyrighted assets that AI-assisted coding cannot supply legally or technically.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a static recompilation toolchain that lifts the original machine code (likely ARM64 Mac) into portable C or C++, plus a runtime that reimplements the macOS and Apple frameworks the game uses. The hard parts are accurate lifting of the original code, emulating graphics and audio APIs, and handling asset extraction. This demands expertise in reverse engineering, compilers, and graphics/audio runtimes.
