The Away Team, a sci-fi text-based adventure game by Underflow Studios, has officially been released on Linux. The minimum requirements according to the game's Steam page mention "Hannah Montana Linux", so it's a safe bet that no matter what you've got under the hood, it'll be plenty to run this interactive fiction game.
The Away Team puts you in the role of an AI piloting Earth's final interstellar spaceship, leading your small human crew in search of a new home. Along the way, you'll navigate your way across multiple dynamically-generated space sector maps as you track down the crews that have journeyed into the unknown before your own. Each journey is unique.
Within each system you visit, select the planet or station you want to check out, then select an "away team" from the available crew, each with their own particular set of strengths and weaknesses which might help or hinder them on the mission. Then guide your crew through life-and-death decisions as they explore the planets in search of secrets, food and fuel.
The Away Team features over 85,000 words of interactive fiction, spread out across over 30 planets, stations and special situations including starvation and out-of-fuel events. With four paths to victory, three difficulty levels, ten Steam Achievements, and trading cards to collect, there's plenty of reason to play again and again, if only to see how many different ways you can kill your crew off.
