What to know about this profile

These notes explain the main assumptions behind this game's RightRig profile. Cited benchmarks, when present, are listed under More detail. Not summarized again here.

Estimated profile for Team Cherry's side-scrolling adventure sequel (Steam PC release 4 Sep 2025). Official minimum and recommended PC requirements on the Steam store page are publisher declarations only — not measured benchmarks and not Benchmark-informed. Store tiers target relatively modest GPUs at DirectX 10; RightRig scores reflect light GPU load versus modern AAA open-world titles. Upscaling, ray tracing, and frame generation are not claimed — none were confirmed from the official requirement block at intake. No engine name appears on the Steam requirements metadata used here, so this row does not list one.
