Can I Run Catherine Classic?

Catherine Classic is an adventure game from ATLUS, released in 2019. SEGA published it. It offers a single player campaign and competitive multiplayer. Critics scored it 80 on Metacritic. Over 8 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. Steam lists support for 5 languages. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It carries 50 achievements. Steam gates it behind an age check at 18.
