Can I Run Infected Shelter?
Released in 2019, Infected Shelter is an action adventure game built by Dark Blue Games. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Steam lists support for 6 languages. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Its 281 Steam reviews make it a niche release rather than a widely tested one. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Completionists have 31 achievements to work through. Two players can share one screen on a single machine, which is rare enough now to be worth noting. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. The base game is free to play, so trying it costs only disk space and download time.
