A game I've really wanted to try is 'The Escapists' that sees you breaking out of prison, and it looks like it will come to Linux.

Thanks to SteamDB it seems it will come to Linux:
Quote298632/config/oslist: linux
298632/name: The Escapists Linux Content
launch/1/config/oslist: linux
launch/1/description: Play The Escapists
launch/1/executable: run.sh
launch/1/type: default
launch/2/config/oslist: linux
launch/2/executable: MapEditor/run.sh
launch/2/type: editor


As usual with SteamDB information, it is not confirmed, and it could be a while off if it does come.

About the game (Official)
The Escapists provides the opportunity of experiencing a light-hearted insight into everyday prison life and, as is the case with all inmates, the main objective is escape! While under the careful watch of the guards, players will need to go about their daily duties clandestinely secreting useful objects from under their captors’ noses. Potential escapees will learn how to craft seemingly innocuous items into useful tools and even weapons as well as using them to execute cunning diversionary tactics.

You can find The Escapists on Steam. Of course we suggest not buying it until the official release, to avoid any issues. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Look a lot like Prison Architect, just with your role reversed. It'd be cool if these two projects collaborated and it was possible to import prisons from the other..
