Help Will Come Tomorrow, a crowdfunded game developed by Arclight Creations, that takes place around the Russian October Revolution is out now.
"During the onset of the October Revolution in the uninhabitable Siberian wilderness, a group of passengers have survived the mysterious catastrophe of a Trans-Siberian railway train. They must endure in a harsh ice-clad climate until a rescue party arrives. Facing many dangers, their own weaknesses and, above all, their own prejudice, passengers from different social classes will have to unite and make decisions that often go against their beliefs. They will be constantly put to the test and will survive or the decisions will break them. How and if they survive and at what cost is up to the player."
It was funded on Kickstarter with around $14,980 only in March this year, with the funding helping towards the final polishing and also to pay for some audio work. Interestingly, in regards to a Linux version, they said they would "do everything to add Linux support" but wouldn't confirmed it for release day. Today though, at release, Linux support is in!
