The game is played inside a web browser and requires WebGL support, so you need a rather new browser (e.g. Google Chrome 9+ or Firefox 4 - IE won't work). Also, your graphics card needs to be at least OpenGL 2 capable (with decent drivers) for WebGL to work. You can check supported browsers and other notes in Khrono's WebGL Wiki.
