Can I Run The Longing?
The Longing is an adventure indie game from Studio Seufz, released in 2020. Application Systems Heidelberg published it. The game supports a single player campaign. It is localised into 11 languages according to the store listing. There are 25 achievements to chase. Being 6 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Its Steam review count passes 6 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Metacritic places it at 79. Cloud saves are enabled. Steam Workshop support means community content is part of the picture, and a heavy mod load can push the real requirements past anything the publisher lists. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete.
