The first-person steampunk dungeon crawler Vaporum [Official Site] is showing signs of being released for Linux and it looks great.
Direct Link
The developer actually said back in September of last year, that a Linux (and other platforms) did depend on how the game did after the initial Windows release. I guess it did okay, since it's popped up on SteamDB as of 4 days ago, with more signs as well. As always, this isn't a guarantee it's coming, but it looks like work is going into it!
It has pretty good reviews overall, so we may take a look when it releases for Linux.
About the game:
Vaporum is a grid-based, single-player & single-character dungeon crawler RPG seen from the first person perspective in an original steampunk setting. Inspired by old-school games like Dungeon Master I and II, the Eye of the Beholder series, and the most recent Legend of Grimrock I and II. Stranded in the middle of an ocean, in front of a gigantic tower, the hero has to find out what the place is, what happened there, and most importantly, who he is.

Quoting: scaineBloodwych! Nostalgia ahoy! I played hundreds of hours of that as an early teen with my best friend at the time, two characters each. Amazing game.
Also, Hired Guns - not joking, me and three mates completed that over various sessions by playing two mice plugged into the Amiga, and one player on each side of the keyboard. What a game!
But yeah, it was Dungeon Master that made it all possible. Completed it countless times - four player party, three player party, two player party, but I don't think I managed it with just a single character.
So, yeah, played a lot of these - Fall of the Dungeon Guardians was the most recent one, but I found it just too much to keep track of. Much more tactical than something like Legend of Grimrock.
Bloodwych was my first RPG ever IIRC when I was like 8-10 years old :)
If you are up to it, try Eye Of The Beholder I and II. These two are dungeon crawler perfection imo. The first one is not that long, but it has extremely good atmosphere and straight forward mechanics.
