Minimum specs

Intel i5 or equivalent

GTX 770 or equivalent

8 GB RAM

64 KB disk space

That makes me laugh. 64kb space. But still needs 8gb of RAM and an i5.

    you might already know, but this is because the game has a small executable but basically spends minutes at startup generating all the possible textures the game will need procedurally.

    I do find it funny how they were nice enough to compress this executable, with the uncompressed version coming at a whopping 108kb. Meanwhile, the screenshots are each about 2MB
