Can I Run Ember?
Released in 2023, Ember is an action adventure game built by Doom Turtle. Publishing duties went to Twin Sails Interactive. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. The game ships for Windows alone. Completionists have 135 achievements to work through. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. With more than 5 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented.

Setting and environment
Ember structures its play around runs that rebuild the layout each attempt. Play is presented in two dimensions. 14 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Layouts generated at run time move the load onto the processor at the moment each new area is built.
Why Ember is demanding
DirectX 12 is named, so Ember expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Disk footprint is light, near 1 GB. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
