Anyone remember OneShot [Steam]? A surreal puzzle adventure game that has been long delayed for Linux now actually has a Linux version in development.
Direct Link
Originally meant to be out for Linux in 2016, however it was delayed right around the release. Years later, they've released a Mac version and in the announcement they said:
The Linux version is also in development and should be available in the near future!
Additionally, looking further into it, they also said this on the Steam forum about the Linux version:
It actually builds on Linux pretty easily right now (always has), it's more just all the other special things the game does that requires special porting.
The biggest irony is that I was never able to get it to compile on windows actually, but rather you would compile it on a linux VM to make a windows executable.
Features:
- Gameplay mechanics that go beyond the game window.
- A haunting original soundtrack and artwork designed to match.
- A unique relationship between a game and its player.
- A lingering feeling that you're not getting the full story unless you know where to look.
Will be good to finally see it out.

So they had to compile it in Linux to get a functional Windows version & we have to wait till last because of Windows? yeah that makes perfect sense to me. :/I'm guessing, but perhaps this listed feature is to blame:
Gameplay mechanics that go beyond the game window.They might be doing some tricky windowing stuff, who knows.
