The premise, in the publisher's words
When a small mining community falls silent, a young soldier named Daltyn is sent to investigate. Upon arriving in the remote mountain town of Karthas, he discovers that paranormal forces have sealed the town off from the outside world. Now trapped, he's left with no option but to explore the mines below the town and uncover the source of the disturbances. Six huge procedurally-generated areas await, each lovingly crafted in a retro pixel art style. Help Daltyn gain new abilities and equipment, evade dangerous traps, and defeat hordes of deadly enemies in order to save Karthas - and possibly the world!

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Dual Core CPU, 1 GB RAM and Direct3D 11 support (feature level 10_0). At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Chasm launched on 30 July 2018, within three weeks of Dead Cells, Octopath Traveler, Overcooked! 2 and Sonic Mania Plus. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 5 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Dead Cells, Octopath Traveler, Overcooked! 2, Sonic Mania Plus.
