Not a new game by any stretch, not even for Linux. After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter back in 2015, it released with Linux support in 2016. Quite a strange story to it, but if you like simple childish and quite crude humour, then it's something that's likely worth your time. An acquired taste I would say, probably quite easy to bounce off it if the first hour isn't your thing the rest of the game likely isn't either. I did like it though, some of the scenes are quite amusing. No issues at all on Manjaro, everything worked great.
For a little extra info, the developer did a post-mortem on Gamasutra back in 2018. In this article, the developer mentioned the low sales for the Linux version but they still thought it was important to support their audience and it sounds like it took really little effort to do. Additionally, it turns out GOG originally rejected it, nice to see they changed their mind on it.
Want to pick up a copy? Now you can find it on GOG, in addition to itch.io and Steam.
This was missing from our dedicated Crowdfunding Page, it has now been added.

Quoting: PhlebiacQuoting: MrNilssonThanks for your detailed recommendations. I put the most games on my wishlist.
If you are interested in a Steam key for Deponia: the Complete Journey (essentially the first 3 games rolled together), send me a PM.
On a side note, I wish there were an easier way to trade Steam keys; steamtrades.com seems so cumbersome. At least steamgifts.com is easy...
Thanks for your offer. But actually I have a few other games on my list which I want to buy first.
