Can I Run Paradise Killer?
Kaizen Game Works released Paradise Killer in 2020. It is an adventure indie game, published by Fellow Traveller. It offers a single player campaign. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Critics scored it 81 on Metacritic. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. It carries 39 achievements. With more than 3 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Cloud saves are enabled.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an investigation, moving through one continuous open world. 14 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Paradise Killer has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. It is played from a first person view.
Why Paradise Killer is demanding
Graphics requirements for Paradise Killer are minimal, with 1060 (Direct X 11 or above required) named as the bar. Disk footprint is light, near 6 GB. Paradise Killer expects 16 GB of system memory. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Paradise Killer?
Paradise Killer is light on hardware. Its minimum, HD Graphics 530 (Direct X 11 or above required), 4 GB RAM, about 6 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: CPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 28.33x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 15.94x |
| 4K | Comfortable | 7.08x |
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.
