I've been told it currently has a limited resolution selection and it will pick your native resolution by default, so you may need to dive into the config files to adjust it to your liking, this will be addressed in a patch that's hopefully due soon. It also appears to have no VSYNC, but that's also due in a patch soon.

That looks really nice, and I'm into puzzling, but what's detering me from it is the reference to Myst...

I've been playing this for about a week and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. If you've ever played Myst then you know what to expect; there are strange machines and items that you need to figure out on your own how they work and what their purpose is. There are hints for all the puzzles scattered about but they're often hidden and even when the hints are out in the open you need to figure out on your own what they mean and which puzzle they correspond to.

This Youtube review is short and to the point and convinced me to buy it once I've finished my obsession with Warhammer Retribution (already completed Dawn of War).
It's not Linux specific, but focuses on the game mechanic which might help you decide if the game is for you.

I'll definitely pick this up. I was hoping for Obduction and The Witness but Quern looks very promising.

A minority of a minority, can't be many games that satisfies your demmands.
If it's really that important you could always try and ask the developer if they want your help translating the game into Spanish. though I suspect that might ruin some of the game for you.

Nice, I liked Myst and Riven a lot and the reviews of this one are very positiv. Will definitely take a look at it.

It's still accurate to say it's a subset of the tiny Linux subset of gamers. If you need a non-English localization to enjoy a game, you've got less choice than if you didn't. This is just an objective observation, don't take this as evidence of a bias.According to this page, in 1999 there were 341M "first language" English speakers, and 322 to 358M "first language" Spanish speakers… Not exactly a minority!And.... No spanish support... No thanks..

Pretty big minority, right enough, but as tuubi points out, a lot of games don't reflect the nationsonline.org figures. If you filter Steam by Games + SteamOS, there are just over 2700 entries. If you then include "Spanish" in the filter, you slash your options to 845, a third of the available games.
I wonder why that is? There's a LOT of Spanish speakers in the world. I wonder if the defacto "English on the Internet" is causing it.

Yeah, have that one on my watchlist. Will check it out this weekend, hopefully it's really inspired by Myst, I loved it.

What a shitty attitude. This is a small indie game made by a group of 4 people in the UK. You can't expect them to have the resources to translate into everyone's language, especially on day one.
Perfectly understandable though. I wouldn't describe it as "shitty". It is what is is. Some people will demand DRM-free, some will demand AMD support and some will demand language support. There's no malice, just a desire to play games.
