With an interesting top-down visual style, The Other Half [Official Site] looks really quite compelling and it's releasing with Linux support on November 2nd.

After watching the trailer, I instantly felt like I needed to know more and see more. Take a look for yourself:

The story:

A Demon Hunter receives a letter from Daniel, a man begging for help against a demonic infestation from the mountain that he calls home. The Hunter, in a search for him through the cold and abandoned world, will discover a twisted tale of intimacy and violence of the past, and must use that knowledge to purge the demons from the once-beautiful land.

Features:

  • Hand animated 2D characters on a cold and ruined 3D world
  • Methodical combat that rewards patience, precision, and knowing the enemies intimately
  • A one-sitting narrative of discovering memory fragments that showcase the beauty of the past
  • Fully voiced dialogues and narrations
  • Optional Narrative Mode for those who don't want difficulty to affect the pacing of the story, without taking away the intensity of combat

Follow it on Steam.

I like the visual style but the gameplay isn't my favorite. I'll give the demo a go though. Kudos to them for having one.

I had issues downloading the demo from Steam. The developers are working on it but in the mean time the demo is also available on Itch.io and Game Jolt:
