Can I Run Exapunks?

Released in 2018, Exapunks is an indie simulation game built by Zachtronics. The game supports a single player campaign. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. Being 8 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. It carries 16 achievements. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.
