First off, this game is one of the better games I've played this year. The writing, voice acting, and world building for this game is spot on. The game flashes back between a late 1970's and 1800's plot arc with rich story-telling in both of the arcs that really sells you on the story and the atmosphere. There were a few tiny plot holes, but, overall if you like a good story this game delivers in spades. There are interesting puzzles and the game does have genuinely terrifying moments so I do recommend playing it in the dark. This is the good stuff. Now on to the bad. This game will not run on a 10th or later generation Intel processor out of the box. I have a 12th gen intel and nothing I did could get it to work until I ran across a post on another game distribution platform that actually worked. Here is how I got it to work: Originally posted by M: First of all, this issue occurs on devices with a 10th generation or higher intel computer. I was having the same issue and by following these steps my issue was resolved: step1 : press ( CTRL + R ) Paste this '' SystemPropertiesAdvanced '' step2 : Next click on Environment Variables... (look lower right of the window of this) step3 : In the lower frame, System Variables, press New step4 : And in the fields, paste these values: Variable Name: OPENSSL_ia32cap Variable value: ~0x20000000 Press Ok and close the Environment Variables window. Restart the computer. Try to run the game now.
