About

Newfound Courage, released in 2019, is an action-adventure indie game that invites players into the picturesque cliffside town of Silverpine. As Alex, you explore this vibrant world, uncovering secrets and forming meaningful relationships, especially with a local named Jake. The engaging narrative and unique blend of simulation elements make it a notable entry in the indie gaming scene, providing players with a heartfelt journey through emotional storytelling.

For optimal performance, Newfound Courage is relatively accessible, requiring just an entry-level GPU with a minimum score of around 300 for smooth gameplay. Players can expect satisfactory FPS benchmarks even with modest hardware, such as integrated graphics or older graphics cards. With just 4 GB of RAM needed, those with lower-tier setups will still be able to enjoy the game's charming graphics settings without worrying about demanding performance.

If you're a fan of indie games that focus on story and character development, Newfound Courage comes highly recommended, especially considering its 70/100 rating. The blend of action, adventure, and simulation elements offers a compelling experience that resonates with players looking for depth and engagement in their gaming escapades.

Performance profile

March 2019 release. Newfound Courage was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.

Simulation titles like Newfound Courage are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — Newfound Courage runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Newfound Courage is a story-driven adventure game about a gay hero who falls in love with his best friend while the world unravels around them. Alex's story starts in the strange cliffside town of Silverpine that is home to The Vault, a mysterious institute containing the knowledge of a long-dead civilization. Alex must explore The Vault's many mysteries and help the colourful townsfolk he meets along the way, while learning to understand and accept his feelings for another young man named Jake. For fans of games like To the Moon or stories like Love, Simon or Call Me by Your Name.
