Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, GTX 750 / Radeon HD 7770, 4 GB of storage. Windows only.

A grim RPG with card-based combat where nothing stays dead. Lead a party of survivors through a world undone by shattered Laws. Restore them and reshape the rules of the game, but be ready to face the consequences.
