Can I Run The Great Perhaps?

The Great Perhaps is an adventure casual game from Caligari Games, released in 2019. Daedalic Entertainment published it. The game supports a single player campaign. With only 703 reviews on Steam, there is little community data on how it behaves across hardware. Metacritic places it at 54. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk. Being 7 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. It is not Windows only, with macOS and Linux covered too. 9 languages are covered by the store listing. There are 14 achievements to chase. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.

Why The Great Perhaps is demanding

Very little is asked of the GPU by The Great Perhaps. NVidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti, AMD Radeon R7 260X scores low against the RTX 3060, putting The Great Perhaps within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. The Great Perhaps needs only 6 GB of RAM. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The install is small at roughly 5 GB.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run The Great Perhaps?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

The Great Perhaps targets a mainstream modern PC: NVidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti, AMD Radeon HD 7790 and 4 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti, AMD Radeon R7 260X for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.

Bottleneck: GPU

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable5.31x
1440pComfortable2.99x
4KRuns well1.33x

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.
