Official game description:
This is a desktop companion game
**She is still the same Lilith, only this time she lives on your desktop**
She breathes, zones out, and gradually comes alive right before your eyes.

Feature scans:
- Proton/Linux: score 45; verdict: Playable with Proton-GE tweaks; summary: Linux users can run the game by installing Proton-GE and, in some cases, adding a launch argument. One user on Nobara reported system recognition issues, but the overall evidence shows that the game is playable with these workarounds.

- Hardware Profile:
  - Summary: Across all VRAM cohorts, the game runs and is generally recommended, though users with less than 8GB VRAM report near-maxed VRAM and minor bugs, while those with 12-15GB note a smoothness issue when dragging.
  - Sample size: 57 (16% coverage)
  - Audience skew: Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
  - Windows <8GB VRAM (positive, 34 reports): Players with less than 8GB VRAM report the game runs, but note that VRAM is nearly maxed out even with minimal LLM/TTS and there are minor bugs; overall it works.
  - Windows 8-11GB VRAM (positive, 11 reports): Players with 8-11GB VRAM on Linux report successful performance using Proton-GE and a launch argument; the game runs well.
  - Windows 12-15GB VRAM (positive, 7 reports): Players with 12-15GB VRAM report the game runs but note that dragging is not smooth enough; overall still recommended.
  - Caveats: 57 of 356 reviews expose hardware metadata.; Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $1.37 - $2.00
  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews explicitly mention the low price in yen and yuan, calling it cheap and friendly, indicating the community considers the current price range ($1.37-$1.77 equivalent) to be fair. One review suggests discounts are optional, not necessary, reinforcing that the base price is already acceptable.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 1.0h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: Three separate player reports provide concrete session durations: one player mentions having played exactly 1 hour, another reports issues after 17 minutes of use, and a third details CPU time accumulation over 83 minutes of running. These are all single-session metrics. No evidence supports game completion (finishing all content), story completion (finishing the narrative), or endgame (post-story grinding/replay). Therefore only sessionLength can be estimated, and a conservative central value of 1 hour is chosen based on the clearest report, though actual sessions range from 17 minutes to 83 minutes.
