Can I Run Little Inferno?
Tomorrow Corporation released Little Inferno in 2012. It is an adventure casual game, self published by the studio. The game supports a single player campaign. Its Steam review count passes 9 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. There are 22 achievements to chase. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. Critics scored it 68 on Metacritic. It is localised into 13 languages according to the store listing. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.
