Can I Run Don't Knock Twice?
Released in 2017, Don't Knock Twice is an action adventure game built by Wales Interactive. The game supports a single player campaign. Its 9 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. Completionists have 28 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Its 653 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. Its Metacritic score stands at 56. The game ships for Windows alone. It is localised into 16 languages according to the store listing. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an unsettling psychological setting. Play is structured around spaces built for exploration. 14 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Don't Knock Twice has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. The view is from a first person view.
Why Don't Knock Twice is demanding
Don't Knock Twice is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 equivalent or greater target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Don't Knock Twice. Don't Knock Twice needs 64 bit Windows. Don't Knock Twice takes about 2 GB of disk space. At 4 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Don't Knock Twice?
Don't Knock Twice targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 / AMD Radeon HD 5750. OpenGL 3.3 and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 970 / AMD Radeon™ R9 290 equivalent or greater for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.58x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.45x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.64x |
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.
