Can I Run Curse That Magic Cat!?

Released in 2021, Curse That Magic Cat! is a casual simulation game built by SMU Guildhall. It offers a single player campaign. There are 14 achievements to chase. Entry is free, which makes the disk requirement the only real barrier. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand.

Why Curse That Magic Cat! is demanding

Curse That Magic Cat! sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GTX 1060, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. Curse That Magic Cat! needs 64 bit Windows. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so Curse That Magic Cat! at the floor and Curse That Magic Cat! at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Curse That Magic Cat! takes about 1 GB of disk space. Its stated video memory figure is modest at 4 GB, so on Curse That Magic Cat! the speed of the graphics chip binds before its memory does. Curse That Magic Cat! expects 16 GB of system memory.

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

Can you run Curse That Magic Cat!?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Curse That Magic Cat! leans on the processor more than the graphics card, its minimum CPU, a Intel i5-6600K, AMD 2600X or better, is what most builds trip over. A strong multi-core CPU paired with a mid-range card is the right shape here, the minimum GPU is a NVIDIA GTX 770; AMD Radeon 6950 HD; 4GB VRAM or better, not a top-end GPU.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable1.7x
1440pBorderline0.96x
4KBelow the bar0.43x

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.
