Darkwood is the great looking top down procedurally generated survival/horror game that is coming to Steam's Early Access and now luckily with day 1 support of Linux.
Darkwood was funded thanks to a big turn out on Indiegogo where they raised well over their funding goal.
It's really great to see that it will get day 1 support for Linux now (and Mac), but I do wonder what they have up their sleeves due to the delay.

About
Darkwood is a game about survival, exploration and fear, set in mysterious woods somewhere in the territory of the Soviet Bloc. It is a top-down, free-roam, surreal horror experience with a randomized world, taking cues from classic games, where oftentimes you had to figure things out for yourself. By blending RPG, roguelike and adventure elements together with a challenging difficulty, Darkwood aims to please players craving for a deep and rewarding experience.
The fear of unknown is powerful – and the unknown will try to remain unseen, forcing you to watch your back. Your senses will be deceived, your sight fooled, your smell tricked by Darkwood's surreal terrors. No answer will be given to you for free, yet somewhere in the woods lies the truth, an explanation to what has happened in this godforsaken place.
Looking for your weakness, your inner demons, only to devour you. Welcome to Darkwood.
- By day, explore the randomly generated woods, scavenge for materials and weapons, discover secrets, solve mysteries and talk, trade with or kill the various inhabitants of Darkwood.
- By night, find shelter, barricade, set up traps and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark.
- Gain skills or perks by extracting essence from mutated fauna and flora and injecting it into your bloodstream. This might also have various unexpected consequences...
- Each action you take will have impact on Darkwood and its inhabitants. The choices you make will define the story which you will experience.
- As days go by, the lines between reality and nightmarish fantasies will begin to blur. You will start to question the protagonist's sanity, but may also stumble upon your own hidden fears... Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteI’m afraid we have a bit of bad news for you. Something is happening in June (sadly, we’re not allowed to reveal any info about it) at the time we planned our early access launch, which makes it impossible for us to release Darkwood as we originally planned, so we have to push back the launch to the beginning of July.
I know some of you are VERY anxious about the launch and I’m sorry I can’t say anything more about this situation, but in a few weeks you’ll understand why we made this decision.
But we also have some good news! I can confirm that Mac and Linux versions are working nicely and will be supported from day 1 of early access, with a few minor issues that can be fixed thanks to the few extra days we will have to spare.
