• Old School Adventure
  The Lightbringer draws a lot of inspiration from earlier Zelda games, and is all about invoking that feeling of wanting to explore every nook and cranny.
• Semi-isometric Gameplay
  With a rotatable camera in an isometric view, you’ll need to look at things from many different angles in order to find solutions to your obstacles. Remember: There’s often more than meets the eye…
• A poetic journey
  Your sister’s spirit guides your entire journey, narrating the gameplay entirely in verse.
• Hazardous Dungeons
  Explore dark dungeons full of danger. Watch out for traps, secrets and that pesky slime!

On the subject of why, they simply said "After some feedback from the community, we decided to officially support Linux, as we want as many people to experience this poetic journey as possible.". Thanks to this, there's now a direct Linux demo available from the Steam page.

You can follow The Lightbringer on Steam.
