In a game based on decent amount of 3D and detail, it would be hard to get a game working for a graphic card which cannot handle anything like it, sadly.

If your graphic card can handle these type of games, then it would be less of a hassle, I imagine. There was something similar going on with Sonic Generations a while back, where it refused to run on Optimus technology, though the graphic card was more than able to handle the game.

Edit: What you could do, if you have a stationary computer, is to order a relatively cheap graphics card to use with it. I have a small form factor with a very bad graphics card, but I bought a relatively cheap low profile (small form factor) graphics card, and it actually handles games quite decently, and The Dark Descent runs extremely smooth on it. =)

Integrated GPUs are very underrated. My sad, year old laptop with an i5 and intel hd 3000 could run mw3, bl1 and bl2, gw2, the bioshock series, the fear series, and the dead space series to name a few, albeit on lowish resolutions and low graphics. Not really sure why integrated cards get such a bad rap.

@ OP make sure your drivers are up to date. My integrated intel hd 3000 on my laptop can handle amnesia tdd no problem, even on highest settings. It seems to have compatibility issues with the penumbra games, which is odd considering they're based off the same engine.
