Minimum vs. Recommended Specs: What Should You Expect?
The minimum requirements give you a starting point for checking whether your computer can run the demo. Steam does not specify a guaranteed frame rate or graphics preset for the minimum hardware.
If you are using a GTX 1060, RX 580, or a similarly capable card, consider starting with lower graphics settings and adjusting them after testing performance.
The recommended configuration calls for a stronger GPU and 16 GB of RAM, but Steam does not provide a specific FPS target for that hardware either.
How Much Storage Does the Demo Need?
Steam lists 7 GB of available storage space for the demo. This is the installation-space requirement, not necessarily the exact download size. You may also need additional free space for Steam updates and temporary installation files.
Acts of Blood Demo Supported Languages
The Steam demo currently supports 11 languages, although full voice acting is listed only for English and Indonesian.
| Language | Interface & subtitles | Full audio |
|---|---|---|
| English | Yes | Yes |
| Indonesian | Yes | Yes |
| Simplified Chinese | Yes | No |
| Traditional Chinese | Yes | No |

| Korean | Yes | No |
| French | Yes | No |
| German | Yes | No |

If you prefer playing in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or another supported language, the demo provides translated interface text and subtitles even where localised voice acting is not available. Language support for the final release may change.
