  - Audience skew: Review sample is heavily weighted toward Windows PCs with 10GB+ VRAM.
  - Windows 12-15GB VRAM (negative, 10 reports): The one included report describes a buggy character model with visual artifacts and GPU hotspot temperatures reaching 99°C, versus about 70°C under load in other games, on a Windows 11 machine with 16GB VRAM and 32GB RAM.

  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The English completion report gives a direct 3.5-hour finish time, which supports gameCompletion. A translated non-English review reports a 20-minute clear, indicating very short completion times and some variance; the clearer 3.5-hour figure is used for gameCompletion. The quote about being unbearable to play for even an hour suggests sessions may be short, but it does not provide a precise typical session length, so sessionLength is null. No evidence gives separate story-only completion hours or endgame time, so storyCompletion and endgame are null.
