Good to Know
- Steam lists only a minimum spec — the game targets modest hardware and the 1 GB install is tiny by modern standards.
- The store page has not published a separate recommended spec beyond "64-bit Windows".
- A free demo is available on Steam, so you can benchmark your machine before buying.
- Cloud co-op needs an online connection; solo play works offline after activation.

Performance Tips
On minimum-spec hardware, close background launchers and disable third-party overlays (Discord, GeForce Experience) — they are the most common cause of stutter we see. For launch black screens and Steam Deck settings, see the best settings & black screen fix page.
