Analysis — The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes on the Steam Machine
Adventure games spend their budget on atmosphere rather than speed. On the RX 7600-class GPU, lighting quality and resolution cost the most, so FSR Quality is the trade to make if native looks soft.
Spend the headroom on a 1440p output with FSR Quality; an adventure game shows resolution more than frame-rate.
27 ProtonDB reports rate it Platinum (runs perfectly out of the box), in line with Valve's Deck Playable rating.
Steam lists full controller support, so it plays from the sofa without a keyboard. It also has shared/split-screen co-op on Steam's list, which suits a living-room box with a second controller.
