Decay: The Mare, Psychological Horror Game, Available On Linux

The horror-themed Decay: The Mare arrived recently on Steam, adding to the list of darker games available for Linux.


This is a point-and-click adventure game with gameplay that looks familiar to other games in the genre. Solving puzzles and mysteries by piecing together items and locations is the main component of the game. The developers claim to pay homage to classic horror games and there's clear influence from games like Silent Hill in the environment and 11th Hour in the interaction in the world, judging from screenshots and videos.

SteamA new psychological horror adventure game from the creators of the successful Decay series:
Sam is an addict who ends up in an institution named “Reaching Dreams”, hoping to kick his drug problem and sort out his miserable life. But during the first night, something goes horribly wrong and he gets stuck in an endless nightmare…

I dig the premise and atmosphere that the game is going for but it seems that the game isn't very lengthy. Nor is there any indication of how well it runs on Linux. I'm not brave enough to impulse buy a new release so soon after my last sudden whim, so I think I'll hold off from taking a closer look at the game anytime soon.
