Bystander, [Steam] a game about making sure people follow the law that seems a little like Papers, Please has added Linux support.
Note: The game is currently in Early Access.
Direct Link
About the game:
Bystander is an opportunity to become an agent for tracking the network during totalitarianism.
Your task is to search among other people's correspondence on the network those that contradict the current laws, copies of which you will receive by fax.
Follow the new laws, look for the hidden meaning in each phrase and, of course, report violations!
The update that added Linux support was announced on December 6th on Steam, where the developer jokingly called it "Lunix". It looks interesting, but I hope it does enough to not end up just being a clone of Papers, Please.
It seems it's still quite early on for this one, so I will take a look at it properly once it's further developed, just here to keep you updated on games adding Linux support this time around.

Quoting: wvstolzingLooks nice, but why did the 5.25" floppy have to enter the drive backwards?
It is getting more and more likely that the current generation of devs have never actually used floppy disk or even seen one in real life.

They also got the disk slot right; but forgot to add the latch.
I feel so old.... :(

Jebus this all makes me want to file a bug report.
Quoting: wvstolzingYou got it all wrong. They imported their drives from Arstotzka, where they have always been manufactured that way.Quoting: EhvisQuoting: wvstolzingLooks nice, but why did the 5.25" floppy have to enter the drive backwards?

The driver looks more like it's been imported from COBRASTAN, where they're sold by this guy.

If you look for instance at the CBM8050 dual floppy fileserver you can't clearly see a mechanic, just a slot... That mechanic is there, but it's hard to see... You had to push it a bit backwards and then pull it downwards, until it springs into place.

Oh wait, this unit needs pulling up. Hmmm, 1540/1541 needed to be pushed down.
I do acknowledge that in the game it looks clear, so you should have seen at least something.
Pure for nostalgic reasons I want a CBM8296, and then replace the board and insides by a small odroid and an lcd panel.

Yeah; what they have in the game looks like the Apple Disk II's slot, with the latch completely removed.

Then with the 1541-II, they adopted the turning latch/lever; which is what I used to have.
