How it plays

It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and horror. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB. 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 70GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
