Can I Run Chicory: A Colorful Tale?
Released in 2021, Chicory: A Colorful Tale is an adventure indie game built by Wishes Ultd.. Publishing duties went to Finji. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. There are 33 achievements to chase. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Critics scored it 90 on Metacritic.
