Can I Run AlCHeMoS?
Hooting Banana Studios released AlCHeMoS in 2022. It is an action indie game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. Cloud saves are enabled. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. There are 36 achievements to chase. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe.

Setting and environment
AlCHeMoS places its action in a science fiction setting, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. That openness is what costs performance. AlCHeMoS has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. It is played in three dimensions. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why AlCHeMoS is demanding
AlCHeMoS sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVidia GTX 1080, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 4 GB, so on AlCHeMoS the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does. AlCHeMoS needs only 8 GB of RAM. AlCHeMoS takes about 1 GB of disk space. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so AlCHeMoS at the floor and AlCHeMoS at the recommended tier are not the same experience.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run AlCHeMoS?
Older hardware holds up here: AlCHeMoS runs on modest graphics, with **4GB VRAM** NVidia GTX 970 or AMD equivalent enough to meet the minimum. Add 4 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
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 AlCHeMoS'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.
