DEFICIT is an exciting looking new FPS with chaotic close-quarters combat

Developer ITEM42 recently announced DEFICIT and it's not often I feel I really need a game after seeing a trailer but DEFICIT looks juicy. Not a whole lot has been revealed just yet since it's a fresh announcement. But you will need Proton to play it on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.

From the Steam page:

Designation: [Carrie]. Location: [Project Sidereal].

Assignment: under the instruction of your shady benefactor known only as [The Client], you must steal the [Interpolator] and use it to escape the sprawling research labs of Project Sidereal.

Project Sidereal is housed within Hadrian's Wall, a maze of concrete warrens and liminal installations policed by the seasoned officers of the Oversight Taskforce.

Sneak past them, turn their defensive systems against them or take them head-on: the best path through the manifold dangers of Project Sidereal is yours to choose.

Check out the announcement trailer from January 10th:
