Can I Run Norland?
Long Jaunt released Norland in 2024. It is a role playing simulation game, published by Hooded Horse. It offers a single player campaign. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress. With more than 8 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. It carries 25 achievements. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Steam lists support for 16 languages.

Setting and environment
Norland places its action in a medieval setting, and the player works through a city the player lays out. What taxes the PC is the number of things being simulated, which means the requirements describe the start of a game, not the end of one. The publisher supplies 11 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Norland is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by Norland. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 ( scores low against the RTX 3060, putting Norland within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. DirectX 12 is named, so Norland expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Norland needs 64 bit Windows. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Norland scales hard with the hardware you give it. Norland takes about 2 GB of disk space.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Norland?
Norland is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) / AMD® Radeon™ RX 560 (4 GB), 8 GB RAM, about 2 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.89x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.06x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.47x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Norland's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
