Can I Run Biolum?

Released in 2021, Biolum is an action adventure game built by IKO. Publishing duties went to Astrea. The game supports a single player campaign. There are 12 achievements to chase. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Its 112 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now.

Setting and environment

Biolum places its action in a horror setting, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Biolum can never assume the player will stop and let it load. 8 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played from a first person view.

Why Biolum is demanding

Biolum sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080, RTX 2070, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. The install is small at roughly 5 GB, on an SSD. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Biolum at the floor and Biolum at the recommended tier are not the same experience. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out.

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

Can you run Biolum?

91%

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

Biolum is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.

Bottleneck: RAM

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 Biolum'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.
