“Everybody should be fine”: The Axis Unseen Is a Beauty of a Game, but Creator Nate Purkeypile Wants to Put an End to Some Gamers Worrying Their Rig Isn’t Enough
The Axis Unseen promises a survival horror experience that has you play the hunter - and the hunted.
Nate Purkeypile’s The Axis Unseen is a visually amazing survival horror game from the ex-Bethesda developer’s Just Purkey Games that has fans of his work very excited to try it out. Putting players in the shoes of a monster hunter relying on just their enhanced senses and bow to hunt horrors from ancient folklore has seemingly paid off for Purkeypile, as many players are very excited for the game’s launch this October.
However, a recent trailer for the game has some players wondering if their PCs are going to be able to run it on account of its graphic-intensive gameplay. Given that there’s a lot happening on the screen in Purkeypile’s latest title and some excellent particle physics at play, these concerns do make sense from a performance standpoint.
The Axis Unseen Brings Horrifying Creatures to Life
Set in a world where monstrosities roam free in the wilds, leaving their mark on the world both in terms of their prey as well as in other unique ways like their scents, The Axis Unseen holds a lot of promise for players looking for a horror experience driven by intense graphics and gameplay.
With the titular character having to pay attention to factors like the direction of winds as well as the scent that their prey leaves behind, it is a game that is all set to push the boundaries of what modern horror experiences bring to players. With the game available to wishlist on Steam, Purkeypile himself has reached out to his players to reassure them that their systems are going to be fine if they are worried about missing out on the experience.
Nate Purkeypile Comes to the Rescue
In a post on X, Purkeypile pointed out that one of his PCs is able to run The Axis Unseen despite having a GPU that’s nearly 10 years old. Furthermore, the game is able to run at a stable 30 frames per second, which is quite respectable in modern gaming considering how old his GPU is.
With the promise of the official specs required to run the game already on the table, PC gamers with older GPUs are certain to breathe a sigh of relief if they were worried about missing out on what is sure to be a great addition to the survival horror genre.

Purkeypile has also pointed out that the CPU on his machine is even older than the GPU, which further lends credence to his assertion that The Axis Unseen should be playable on most PCs. Considering his extensive experience with creating massive games, his fans are sure to be happy to take his word for it.
Players have been quick to express their joy at being able to experience the legendary developer’s latest project when it becomes available to play, with one player praising the timing of its release.
Another player praised the game’s optimization – a major factor in making it available on as many systems as possible.
The Axis Unseen is sure to set more than a few hearts racing when it launches in October, and Purkeypile’s fans are more than ready to take on whatever challenges he throws their way in the new game.
