As a prequel to the original stylish first-person dungeon crawler, Vaporum: Lockdown follows Lisa Teller, a scientist who is a part of a mysterious research project in the middle of an ocean.
Continuing to be inspired by the likes of Dungeon Master I and II, the Eye of the Beholder series and the more recent Legend of Grimrock I and II. Like the previous game, Vaporum, this will also support Linux and it's due out sometime early next year. Check out their first teaser trailer:

I was very impressed by what Fatbot Games did with Vaporum. It looked great with some wonderful design work, performed well and most importantly it was good fun. They also managed to get it performing really well after the last update. Based on that and the screenshots they've shared, I'm hopeful this will be just as good.
Some early screenshots:
Vaporum: Lockdown has a Steam page up already so you can wishlist/follow it right now.
Not played the original? You're missing out. Vaporum can be picked up from Humble Store, GOG and Steam.

Quoting: TcheyI much prefer turn based if grid based system, like in Heroes of Broken Lands, StarCrawlers, The Quest, and some others. Or at the very least, static combats. I do hate square dancing.
I like both kinds. It's maneuvering / versatile approaches vs. slower reasoning.

I do hate square dancing.I guess I might prefer those as well then. I was never a big fan of the real-time variant, even if it didn't manage to put me off these games completely.
