Can I Run Chroma?
Released in 2015, Chroma is an indie role playing game built by Behold Studios. Publishing duties went to Akupara Games. It offers a single player campaign. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. Critics scored it 75 on Metacritic. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Cloud saves are enabled. Completionists have 43 achievements to work through. It is localised into 6 languages according to the store listing. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller.
