Your specs generally sound a little better than mine, but I was able to run it. There might be another issue with your setup/software. Although, I had to look up that CPU, and it's apparently a server CPU from ~2014? Potential source of issues, there. Not saying decade-old hardware can't run modern stuff for the most part, as I'm well aware it's possible.
But also, given it's a server CPU: are you running it in a VM? I know it can be done, but, if so, you would already be well aware the limitations that can cause, at times. :p
But yes, this game definitely needs optimization - it basically becomes unplayable after the sub cums 3+ times, for me. They mention that in the description, as well as a comment about "having to use higher resolution textures." The art here is nice but not quite as detailed as to require very high resolution textures... By the sound of that admission, they are very likely using more than necessary, for way too many things.
