During the PlayStation 5 reveal recently, Neostream Interactive had their 2015 crowdfunded title Little Devil Inside shown off as a timed exclusive and they've now clarified their plans for platforms.
The timed exclusive deal caused a bit of a ruckus with backers, with quite a few angry comments aimed at the developers. However, according to what they said, this PlayStation 5 timed exclusive deal will not be affecting the release of the PC version so they're still firmly aiming for a concurrent launch on PC - the exclusive deal only affects console.
After reaching out to Neostream directly, they mentioned to me today that the Linux version is still planned to launch alongside Windows, "We'll be trying to get it to Linux at the same time as Windows. We will be clarifying again on all the precise platforms soon.".
Here's their brand new trailer, see below:
Direct Link
They've also seen some controversy elsewhere. In the trailer at about 0:46, you can see characters chasing the protagonist wearing masks. Apparently this caused a stir as some claimed it was a racial stereotype. The team released a statement on Facebook to apologize and they will be adjusting that model to remove the dreadlocks, change their "bold lips", skin tone and change the dart blower "so it looks less like a joint".
When we hear more about a Linux PC release date we will let you know.
We missed this one on our dedicated Crowdfinding Page, so it has been added today. It's now hit 350 projects being listed and still more to add yet.

Quoting: The_AquabatI'm glad they've corrected the stereotype. Gaming as being a highly innovative industry there's lot of people with open minds. But I think some people need to chill down I recently read an article of JRR Tolkien being called the "Lord of the Racists".
(some) People will always find something to complain about, and once you give in to their whims they will double down until nothing is left but the bones.
That aside I love the art style of the game, never heard of it before now
QuotePLAYSTATION CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE!!!It's exclusive, and also not! Quite silly.

Isn't a man at the beginning of the video shown as a stereotypical British gentleman? Is Crash Bandicoot racist now too?

Now that they edit the masked characters, other (or probably even the same) people will complain that they now removed the African culture whatnot and that the removal is racist.

The Ministry of Truth does not condone your unlicensed use of common sense, please desist and get on the outrage bandwagon immediately
The console exclusivity thing is just poor communication on their part. The game looks great though.
Quoting: soulsourceDon't worry.

Yeah, why talk about what actually happened when you can make up things that might happen in the future?
The latter is so much easier and more fun...!

Are they going to go after the protagonist's winter coat next for being cultural appropriation?
Quoting: Salvatos"They" are such a scary bunch. Always going after things that are ever so important to people who never knew they cared.QuoteThey've also seen some controversy elsewhere.
