Sherlock Holmes Chapter One on the Steam Machine
Can the Steam Machine run Sherlock Holmes Chapter One?
Not reliably — Valve's SteamOS compatibility check flags Sherlock Holmes Chapter One as Unsupported, and the Steam Machine runs SteamOS.
Red here means a compatibility problem (often anti-cheat or a launcher), not too little GPU power, so lower settings won't fix it. Recommended RAM is 12 GB — comfortably within the Machine's 16 GB.

Blocked on SteamOS?
Cloud streaming runs the game on remote hardware, so SteamOS compatibility stops mattering — if your service carries it. Try cloud gaming (GeForce NOW / Game Pass).
