What Long Gone Days is
Long Gone Days is an indie game developed by BURA and released in 2023. It was published by Serenity Forge. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Rpgmaker.
The premise, in the publisher's words
After being deployed to his first mission, Rourke leaves The Core's base for the very first time, only to discover the dark truth about the operation he's part of and the consequences of deserting an inescapable war. With no place to call home now, he must prevent the war from spreading any further, forming strong bonds along the way that will forever change his life.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2 Ghz dual core, 4 GB RAM and Hardware Accelerated Graphics with dedicated memory, 1GB memory recommended. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 2GB. 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
Long Gone Days launched on 10 October 2023, within three weeks of Alan Wake II, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Marvel's Spider-Man 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Alan Wake II, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
