PayPalLove stealth games? How about hacking games? Off Grid [Official Site] has them both and the latest teaser has certainly captured my interest.
I haven't actually been following it closely, something I aim to fix as it seems like a game I would enjoy. The developer has been testing Linux early-on in the development of it too, with them sharing a shot of it running on Linux back in 2016. They've recently put up a new gameplay teaser and they re-confirmed to me that Linux will indeed be a same-day release—heck, their Tweet even has a "#linuxgames" tag in it.
Anyway, less rambling more showing:

Here's what the game will feature:
- Stealth and hacking gameplay based on use of data and environments rather than weapons and combat
- Hack into lifelike simulated networks and data with realistic hacking techniques and tools including SSH, sidejacking, and social engineering of the AI
- Contemporary storyline and missions related to real-world events surrounding data privacy and mass surveillance
- Fully moddable content encouraging players to create new and interesting levels, whether complete fantasy or mimicking hacking in the real world around them
- Outstanding audio and original soundtrack from Jonas Jensen and Lyndon Holland, the BAFTA-winning composer from the game Virginia
You can follow it on Steam. It's due out in "Early 2019".

Quoting: elmapultake a look at the minimum requirements
for the windows and mac versions, you need 6GB of ram, 6GB of HD space
for the linux version, you need 16MB of ram, 100MB of HD space...
what is that? an game runing in a virtual machine?
LOL look the recomended requirements
Lol yeah I was a bit sleepy when I was updating the specs :)
You spotted the recommended specs / 'Hackers' ref but the minimum spec was supposed to say something useful I just didn't save the page correctly, my bad (fixed now)! It's pretty much the same as Windows atm to tbh. We'll be able to offer a more accurate spec later in the year when it makes sense for us to be doing more QA and bechmarking.

Quoting: Stupendous ManLooks interesting, though I didn't know ssh was a 'hacking tool' :-p
Heh, yeah difficult to summarise hacking gameplay in a snappy format though, all three of those elements listed probably better group under the term techiniques, for instance social engineering definitely isn't a 'tool' in the strictest sense either, but both SE and ssh / shellcode are 'methods' used for hacking :)

Quoting: NeverthelessDoes it support Kali Linux?
I can test that in a VM pretty easily to say if it throws errors or not, but I have no idea how much effort Kali devs put into supporting graphics cards!
Will let you know later down the line :P

Of course it was! Gaming on Kali is like Rallye racing with farming machines. :)

Hi there!
Do you know if the game could get a GOG release (or any kind of DRM-Free release) in the future?
Sorry to ask that guys but it might be important. Thanks!

Quoting: CyrilHi there!We'll definitely do DRM-free, although what stores will be a question we'll have to answer closer to release. As far as we're concerned, both GOG and Humble Store are something we'd like to do. Not massive supporters of DRM here :D

Well there is an entire sport dedicated to that!

Lol yeah I figured it was a joke, but that it would be a funny gimmick to see if it ran, if nothing else to be able to say that it does! :P
