System Requirements

PC minimum and recommended specs

Orbt XL

Recommended

Recommended:
  • OS: Windows 10
  • Processor: Octa Core+ (I am just assuming Octa means 8)
  • Memory: 7 GB RAM
  • Graphics: 2x GTX 1080 TI (unless you can have more, then by all means)
  • Storage: 501 MB available space
  • Sound Card: I often wonder if a sound card would make my garbage sounds any better. If I didn't get the sounds from a royalty free site, I just recorded weird sounds and then used a free program to slightly modify them so they sounded less like a dude making strange sounds.
  • Additional Notes: Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. We're all going to die. Come play orbt xl.
