Can I Run 2Dark?

2Dark is an adventure indie game from Gloomywood, released in 2017. Nacon published it. The game supports a single player campaign. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Steam lists support for 8 languages. Its 538 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Metacritic score stands at 68. It carries 15 achievements. Being 9 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17.

Setting and environment

2Dark places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through spaces built to be avoided rather than cleared. The publisher supplies 5 storefront screenshots of these environments. Play is presented from a top down view.

Why 2Dark is demanding

2Dark barely touches the GPU. Its stated Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 / ATi Radeon R7 260X target is below anything currently sold. The install is small at roughly 1 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. System memory expectations are modest at 2 GB.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run 2Dark?

100%

Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

2Dark targets a mainstream modern PC: Nvidia Geforce GT 9800 / ATi Radeon HD 4870 and 2 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 / ATi Radeon R7 260X for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

Resolution	Projection	Headroom
1080p	Comfortable	6.54x
1440p	Comfortable	3.68x
4K	Comfortable	1.63x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against 2Dark's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
