I'm incredibly excited to watch how Inner Chains [Official Site, Steam] has been progressing and now we have a proper look at some early gameplay.

The visual design is incredible and is something I would have expected to come from someone like H. R. Giger (RIP).

The game was funded on Kickstarter where it was given $18,708 towards development. Linux was a stretch goal, but it was set at $15,000 so they gathered well over what they requested for a Linux version.

I actually considered pledging on the Kickstarter as it looked so good, but I couldn't bring myself to do it if it was a stretch-goal. I am hoping this doesn't mean it's a low priority since they have the funding they requested now.

It's due out sometime next year.

Features
- Unprecedented ways of interaction between weapons, their users and the environment.
- A dark, biomechanical world where both fauna and flora lie in wait for your slightest stumble.
- VR Support.
- Stunning, surreal visual style.
- Deadly, intelligent and challenging opponents.
- Unusual locations with their own unique stories.
- Dense, suggestive atmosphere of terror, magnified by the great soundtrack composed by Michał Staczkun.
- Subtle thriller elements that will fill you with fear in unusual, inventive ways.
- Thrilling action combined with an interesting, hair-raising story. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

The atmosphere looks amazing!
Let's hope for a day 1 Linux support.
PublicNuisance Dec 2, 2016
If they follow through with a Linux version they will have my money.
STiAT Dec 2, 2016
Atmosphere freaks me out. Very well done. A lot of glitches still (animations, the rocks falling and simply disappearing), but hey, it's pre-alpha..

This looks good based on that video. Although I suspect I'd prefer it more if it were just a "walking simulator" sans shooting.

UE4 game? I fear we will be disappointed again because of any kind of technical issues like "middleware" stopping the linux release.
I still want shadowarrior 2 so much which is another example of a not yet released linux UE4 game.
( I still hope the best especially because devolver digital and flyig wildhog were always very linux friendly !)

Are there many released UE4 games for linux yet?
I only found a UE4 game called "Steamroll" with linux support yet .

Oh wow - the artwork! Looks like a goth fantasy drawing come alive...

Looks very nice. I'll get it if it comes to Linux.

This shows the kind of place most politicians should be banished to.
seguleh Dec 2, 2016
drvictor666: place in "Agony" looks better for them :D. Also I wish this game on Linux too, as it seems even more brutal than "Inner Chains". However I wait impatiently for "IC".

VR support? what kind of super machine you need to move this graphics on VR?
Keyrock Dec 2, 2016
This looks metal as ****! That said, great graphics and cool atmosphere alone do not make a great shooter and the few momentary glimpses of actual shooting at the end are nowhere near enough information to gather whether this will be a competent shooter. Hopefully it plays as well as it looks.

Unreal Tournament 4 has Linux support, in that it works natively in Linux.

Shadow Warrior 2 has nothing to do with Unreal Engine. It uses its own engine: Road Hog Engine

They must have used their socks as a pop filter :D

Wow. Fantastic level design. Love the art style. All the little details. Not much to go on for the combat, so far. A game I'm interested to follow.

Oh you are right, shadowwarrior 2 is indeed not unreal engine 4. I have no I idea where I got the idea from, sorry for this :-/ .
