Areia: Pathway to Dawn from Gilp Studio was just recently announced with the developer promising it to be a "journey like no other".
It's an adventure game, with a few puzzle elements to it and a wondrous style. The developer said it's a game about emotions and spiritual growth, a tale of wonder as you explore a land inhabited by only one character. It's supposed to be a calming experience, with Gilp Studio saying it's "a unique addition to the range of meditative games". Take a look at their freshly released trailer:

I spoke personally with Gilp Studio earlier today to ask about Linux support, to which they replied with "Hi Liam, thanks for the interest, and yes it will have linux support and we are looking into bringing it to mac users as well."—excellent!

Quotea JOURNEY like no other
Very subtle ;)
Welp, I liked Journey on PS4 a lot, so.. wishlisted.
Quoting: no_information_hereLooks promising. However, the homage to Journey may be a little too close, with the desert, cape/scarf, and meditation points. I hope they don't get sued...Be kind of incongruous to watch two serene meditate-y groups in a lawsuit.
Quoting: M@GOidLooks like it is from a Brazilian developer. "Areia" means "sand" in Portuguese.
Exactly. It's funded by a government agency that promotes culture in general. Games included
