The Merlies System Requirements
The single-tier, famously light requirements for The Merlies - and why almost any PC runs it.

Quick Answer: Can My PC Run It?
Almost certainly. The Merlies lists one of the lightest requirement sheets in recent memory — a 2012-class integrated GPU (Intel HD 4000), any quad-core i5, 4 GB of RAM and 500 MB of disk. The 2D hand-drawn art style keeps the hardware floor low; there is no separate recommended tier listed.
| Requirement | Minimum (only tier listed) |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 7 or newer |
| Processor | Intel i5 quad-core |
| Memory | 4 GB RAM |
| Graphics | Intel HD 4000 (integrated) |
| Storage | 500 MB available space |
The Nintendo Switch version is the stress-test reference — if a handheld runs it, any laptop from the last decade will too.
