A single-player comedy adventure 2.5D platformer developer by a former Disney ride designer, Ari Buktu and the Anytime Elevator looks and sounds great.
Coming from Adventure Works, a small production studio lead by Jeffrey Ashbrook, a former Disney parks designer and a producer on the Millennium Falcon ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. What we've seen of it looks incredibly promising and I'm personally looking forward to seeing more from this one. The game will have Native Linux support too.
They just released a brand new demo ahead of Steam Next Fest, and to go along with it there's new trailer too:

On the origins of the game, Jeffrey Ashbrook, founder at Adventure Works, said "I always wanted to create a game inspired by those cinematic story-driven adventures I loved growing up. I was such a big fan of ‘80s adventure films like Indiana Jones and The Goonies, and large-scale games like the Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid series, those seamless blends of cinematics and gameplay to create a memorable experience for players. Even with only a handful of devs from around the world , we wanted Ari to be that same kind of experience you used to get from much larger teams: full 3D cutscenes, ensemble casts of characters, and a story that you could really sink into if you wanted, so we’ve set our sights high and really hope people enjoy what we’ve been creating."
