In regards to Native Linux support they said:
We're making builds for macOS and Linux all the time and we hope that we will be able to optimize the game to release it for these platforms with reasonable system requirements. We'll see what we can do later in the development process and we are convinced that there is some room for improvement.
We did release Unforeseen Incidents on Mac and Linux and those two platforms are highly important to us.
You can follow it on Kickstarter and Steam.
QuoteEnjoy a puzzle-free experience in a beautiful, stylized 3D environment.seems to imply that it's more of a walking sim. While those can be nice (I tremendously enjoyed Firewatch, for instance), they really have to hit the nail in the story department to keep my interest up. But add in a set of quality puzzles and the story doesn't matter that much, anymore.
Meanwhile Unforeseen Incidents:
"Explore plenty of intriguing locations with challenging puzzles"
and We Stay Behind:
"Enjoy a puzzle-free experience in a beautiful, stylized 3D environment."
