Can I Run Death Must Die?

Death Must Die is an action casual game from Realm Archive, released in 2023. Realm Archive both developed and published it. The game supports a single player campaign. There are 59 achievements to chase. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. Its Steam review count passes 20 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.
