Can I Run Animal Shelter: Prologue?
Games Incubator released Animal Shelter: Prologue in 2021. It is an adventure casual game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. Entry is free, which makes the disk requirement the only real barrier. The game ships for Windows alone.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a gentle, brightly drawn world. Play is structured around systems the player balances from above. 17 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours. Play is presented from a first person view.
Why Animal Shelter: Prologue is demanding
Animal Shelter: Prologue sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Animal Shelter: Prologue takes about 4 GB of disk space. System memory expectations are modest at 12 GB. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Animal Shelter: Prologue scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Animal Shelter: Prologue?
Animal Shelter: Prologue is light on hardware. Its minimum, Nvidia GeForce GTX 780, 8 GB RAM, about 4 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.7x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 0.96x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.43x |
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.
