Can I Run Genesis Noir?
Genesis Noir is an adventure game from Feral Cat Den, released in 2021. Fellow Traveller published it. It offers a single player campaign. It is not Windows only, with macOS covered too. Its Steam review count passes 1 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. It handles controllers properly rather than leaving the player to bind buttons by hand. Metacritic places it at 77. Its 5 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. It carries 17 achievements.

Setting and environment
Genesis Noir places its action in a noir setting, and the player works through spaces built for exploration. The publisher supplies 13 storefront screenshots of these environments. The view is through a point and click interface. That openness is what costs performance. Genesis Noir has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves.
Why Genesis Noir is demanding
At 6 GB, system memory is undemanding. Genesis Noir takes about 4 GB of disk space. DirectX 12 is named, so Genesis Noir expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
