Atmospheric, Limbo-esque platformer 'Selma and the Wisp' is released for Linux on Steam

Honestly, I've never heard of this game before, so I can't give an opinion about it, but I do think that its aesthetics and background score look pretty interesting. The creators clearly state they took inspiration from Limbo, but also some comparisons with Fran Bow can be made: besides the obvious fact that one of the lead characters is a little girl, the story is put in motion by an horrendous event in her house, as it's told in the following link (check second paragraph).

It's a shame it doesn't have a demo available, but for 100 lucky people that won't be a problem, since the game is taking part in the flash give-aways of IndieDB. To participate in the contest enter here and follow the instructions, just like previous times, and in a matter of hours you could be the one helping Selma to reach a secure place.
