The premise, in the publisher's words
THE YEAR IS 1936 ... In a time of global turmoil, Nazi influence spreads inexorably across Europe and the Middle East. Rumors are abound of secret excavations and mysterious artifacts, not to mention the odd whisperings and tales of gruesome occult rituals... IT'S UP TO YOU ... Assemble a team of bold adventurers, and journey through the deserts, explore bunkers, and temples of Northern Africa to discover their hidden treasures and secrets before they fall into the hands of Nazi forces. You and your companions must work together to overcome overwhelming odds - the fate of the world depends on it!

The main story runs about 8 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 12 hrs, roughly 1.5 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $4.79, that works out to about $0.60 per hour of the main story, or $0.40 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.0 Ghz DualCore CPU, 8 GB RAM and Intel HD4000 or better, OpenGL 3.3. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. 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.

Pathway launched on 11 April 2019, within three weeks of Days Gone, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Anno 1800 and Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the Nintendo Switch's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
