Rosewater from Grundislav Games and publisher Application Systems Heidelberg has a brand new trailer and they've revealed the release date is now set for March 27th. The developer Grundislav Games also made A Golden Wake and Lamplight City. Rosewater will have Linux support at release.

More about it: "It's been several years since Harley Leger left New Bretagne and headed west, hoping to leave the past behind and make her way as a freelance writer. After arriving in the sleepy border town of Rosewater, a seemingly trivial assignment for the local paper leads to the hunt for a missing man's fortune—and the story of the century.

Harley and her ragtag posse embark on a harrowing journey across Western Vespuccia, encountering bandits, rebels, visionaries, eccentrics, and many more friends and foes on their quest for fame and riches."

Lamplight City was very good, especially the choices actually mattering.
I showed some... not sure anymore, I think human bones to somebody. She was shocked and refused to talk to me any more. So I (reloaded and) started to actually think what I should and shouldn't be doing instead of just clicking on anything possible!
Will buy Rosewater, too.
Additionally, Application Systems Heidelberg is a very Linux friendly publisher.
I was thinking "Whoa, the animation seems really stiff". But then I read that it was rotoscoped. And I thought about the movement a bit more and yeah, it doesn't feel like bad-animation stiff. It feels like stiff actors. Like when a guy gets shot and falls down, it's like when you tell someone "OK fall down now" and they carefully fall down in this very controlled way.
Might still be quite a good game. But that did sort of stand out to me.
