What Klaus is
Klaus is an adventure game developed by LaCosa Entertainment and released in 2016. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Klaus follows an office worker who wakes up in a basement with no idea of who or where he is. With his only clue being the word "Klaus" tattooed on his arm, he's forced to escape the mechanical and constructivist world in which he finds himself a prisoner.

It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 41 achievements to unlock.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core2 Duo E6750 (2 * 2660) or equivalent / AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ (2 * 2600) or equivalent, 2 GB RAM and Geforce GT 430 (1024 MB) / Radeon HD 5570 (1024 MB). At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 4GB.
What it launched against
Klaus launched on 19 January 2016, within three weeks of The Witness, Firewatch, XCOM 2 and Yakuza Kiwami. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witness, Firewatch, XCOM 2, Yakuza Kiwami.
