PC Setup: Pre-Launch Steps
Preparing your PC takes only a few minutes and prevents the most common launch-day problems. Follow this sequence after purchasing and before the October 23 unlock.
Verify Your Purchase
Confirm your order on the official Steam page for App ID 3960600. Check that pre-order bonuses, if any, appear in your library before the unlock timer begins.
Update Drivers and OS
Update your GPU driver and operating system. Launch issues in newly released RPGs are frequently resolved by a current graphics driver and a full system update.
Preload If Available
If preloading opens before October 23, install early. Reserve extra disk space beyond the base install for the day-one patch.
Configure Controls
Test mouse and keyboard plus any controller you plan to use. Adjust keybinds and camera sensitivity before starting your Clan story.
Start on Default Settings
Launch with the default graphics preset, test frame rate in a busy forest area, then adjust shadows and effects downward if the frame rate dips.
If the game fails to launch, verify game files through Steam first and restart the client. Reinstalling should be the last resort, not the first step.
PC Performance Checklist
| Area | What to Check | Before Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | Supported Windows version, updates complete | Install pending updates |
| CPU and RAM | Modern CPU, sufficient free memory | Close background apps |
| Graphics | Dedicated or capable integrated GPU | Update GPU driver |
| Storage | Space for install plus patches | Keep spare capacity free |
| Display | Resolution and refresh rate | Test default preset first |
| Handheld/Steam Deck | Frame stability, text size, controls | Evaluate after release build |
Launch Day Checklist:
- Purchase confirmed on the official Steam page
- GPU driver and OS fully updated
- Disk space reserved for install and patches
- Controls tested and keybinds adjusted
- Default graphics preset benchmarked in a forest area
Detailed minimum and recommended PC specifications will be finalized on the Steam page at launch. Check the official listing for the authoritative numbers rather than third-party estimates.
What to Expect on PC at Launch
The PC version ships with the full experience announced by Trailmark Games: four complete Clan storylines, a detailed cat creator, and turn-based combat with Clan-specific abilities. Your early choices shape relationships, prophecy branches, and territory events.
Four Clan Stories
- ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan
- Each Clan gets a full storyline
- Different territories and traditions
Original Cat Creator
- Customize fur, patterns, eyes, and features

- Choices carry through your story
Turn-Based Combat
