Torment: Tides of Numenera can be seen as the follow-up of the legendary Planescape: Torment (which I started a week ago in Wine again), it's developed by inXile who are also working on their Wasteland 2 kickstarter.
Like Wasteland 2 this will also use the Unity engine, so Linux support is confirmed from the get go.

- Torment is a single-player, isometric role-playing game.
- You will play a single, specific character, though you will encounter optional NPC companions you may choose to include in your party.
- The story-driven game will have a rich dialogue system and approach similar to that of Planescape: Torment.
- The game will be developed in the Unity engine for PC (Windows), Mac, and Linux platforms.
- The game will be available in English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish.
- The game will be distributed DRM-free. (You’ll be able to get it from Steam, and other DRM-free download options will be made available.)

Chris Taylor comment about Kickstarter Fatique is sort of blown out of the water by this. Still sad they did not make it, GPG deserved better.
Thankfully we have uber and Planetary Annihilation coming this year :)
what on earth they gone do as stretch goals ?
At this speed there going to be fully funded on day one. At the time of writing less thenScratch that, they got funded while I was writing this reply. As I refresh there getting ~450usd per refresh. :O
Never heard of Planescape before might check it out since people expect so much of it's successor.
They've released a few stretch goals as well.[/left]
As for the kickstarter, almost double in 2 days. scary.
Bumadar, that's totally true. That's why I mentioned GemRB, but didn't claim that people should use it. Just that it's there! I wanted to make the point that even spending a few dollars on GOG to buy Planescape: Torment doesn't mean an experience subject to the complication of Wine. Plus... more players using GemRB means a bigger community to port over good mods and make them work. I might be willing to put some time into that, later this summer... might you, someday? :)
