In a press release last week the developer of indie hit To the Moon, Freebird Games, revealed that their next game, A Bird Story, will be available for Linux on Steam and GOG, among other distribution platforms.
To the Moon is a casual 16-bit style RPG with a big emphasis on story telling. It was universally well received by the press and gamers alike, so this new instalment in the same universe is sure to be a welcome break in the wait for episode 2 of the series.
The press release was followed by the first official trailer for the upcoming game:
Official About
A Bird Story is an hour-long adventure game about a boy who found an injured bird. It takes place between a mix of memories and dreams, telling a simple and surreal tale without dialogues.
The game is the bridging episode between episode 1 (To the Moon) and episode 2 of the series, as the boy would grow up to be the elderly patient in episode 2. However, the game is made to be self-contained.

I agree about To The Moon. Not Planescape:Torment, but a damn good story. This prequel(?) looks like another winner.

Mmmmh... I have yet to try to the moon.
The trailer didn't seduce me, IIRC. But I will give it a go as soon as possible, given what I can hear here :)

I run the Hidden Linux Gems group on Steam, where we highlight good indie games for Linux that we feel deserve more attention.
