In Stars And Time: PC requirements and the PC you need

About In Stars And Time

In Stars And Time is a turn-based role-playing game from insertdisc5, drawn in black and white. You play Siffrin, a traveller who becomes trapped in a time loop that only they know about, repeating the same days as their group of friends tries to defeat a king who has frozen time. Battles are fought with a rock-paper-scissors style system, and each loop teaches you something new. It is single player. It runs on very modest hardware, so any of our gaming PCs plays it perfectly.

What In Stars And Time needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, and to play it well the makers suggest almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, with 4GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.

Questions about In Stars And Time on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
