Thoroughly charming adventure game The Night of the Rabbit added Linux / Steam Deck support

The Night of the Rabbit from Daedalic Entertainment originally released in 2013 and has some pretty glowing reviews, and recently Daedalic gave it a proper Native Linux / Steam Deck version too. Bit of a surprise to see, especially with the Linux version coming with the first update to the game since 2013.

More about it:

Lose yourself in a tale of magic and wonder, where anything is possible and where nothing is quite as it seems: join young Jerry and follow a peculiar white rabbit to the wondrous realm of Mousewood, a land where critters can speak and where mystery abounds.

It is here that Jerry’s dream of being a magician comes true, though a haunting, sinister force casts a long shadow over the forest. Someone offers the residents of Mousewood a deal of their lifetime - tickets to the greatest magic show that the world has ever seen. But the price is steep, as they'll have to stake their most precious possessions and also their lives.

As the shadows grow deeper, the residents of Mousewood have only Jerry to turn to. On an adventure full of laughter and tears, joy and fear, the young boy will face the ultimate trial, leaving behind the world he once knew, and his childhood, too, will become a thing of the past.
