How many GB is The Messenger?

1.17 GB

That makes it bigger than 50% of Platform games we have measured.

The median Platform game needs 1 GB; the largest tenth start at 10 GB.

Leave at least 7 GB free: games need headroom to unpack updates.

The figure is the storage Steam lists as required for this game, not a measured download.

As a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja ventures through a cursed world, to deliver a scroll paramount to his clan's survival. Leveraging players expectations as a core game design ingredient, The Messenger is first presented as an 8-bit action platformer with a simple story, that unravels into an epic time traveling tale, eventually revealing itself as a 16-bit Metroidvania game packed with replay value and deadpan humor.
