Can I Run Idol Manager?

Idol Manager is an indie simulation game from Glitch Pitch, released in 2021. PLAYISM published it. 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. It is localised into 5 languages according to the store listing. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. There are 102 achievements to chase. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Its Metacritic score stands at 73.
