Through the help of an old man, you connected with your past memories by way of a strange tape, and embarked on a journey to find your memories.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7-6700K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, 16 GB RAM and Intel ARC A580, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 30GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
