Can I Run Cultist Simulator?
Cultist Simulator is an indie role playing game from Weather Factory, released in 2018. Weather Factory both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Its Steam review count passes 10 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Being 8 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Metacritic places it at 71. Alongside Windows it also ships for macOS and Linux. Completionists have 83 achievements to work through. 7 languages are covered by the store listing. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.
