Secrets of Rætikon has some of the best style in a game I have seen recently. I just love the fact that it includes a full-game editor to create entirely new games within it.
There really is an odd mix of game-play types being pushed out recently and keeping with that theme Heldric - The Legend Of The Shoemaker has been released.
Obduction is an adventure game that went through Kickstarter last year from the developers of the games Myst and Riven. They are now evaluating Linux support thanks to Unreal Engine.
It's Dark is a new creepy-looking adventure game on Desura built with Unity. It's creepy because you are alone, in the woods and there might be something there with you.
Moebius: Empire Rising an adventure game from Jane Jensen is already confirmed for Linux and we mentioned recently the Linux release has been delayed. We now know what is causing the delay.
Citizens of Earth is a funny looking RPG from the developers of Waveform. Instead of recruiting a Mags you find a Baker, instead of a warrior you find a School Teacher and so on. It looks brilliant.
Transistor comes from the developers of the hit game Bastion and promises plenty of sci-fi action. They have confirmed for sure Linux will come, we just don't know when.
Planets³ is a 3D open-world voxel-based RPG (first person view) on Kickstarter. It was over-funded, but sadly it didn't hit the Linux stretch goal. Thankfully the developers won't be excluding Linux gamers.
If you haven't heard of Outcast before then you are either young or living under a rock, possibly both! Outcast was a revolutionary open-world action-adventure game back in the day. Outcast Reboot HD is promising Linux support at a hefty stretch goal.
Sadly this one seems to have been missed, it was released last month for Linux, but as it's not a brand new game (only new to Linux) it didn't pop up as new to Linux on Steam. Ballpoint Universe Infinite is a shoot-em-up adventure game featuring artwork entirely drawn in ballpoint pen.
Sipping on absinthe in a dark and potentially dangerous place doesn't seem like a good idea. But then again Spate is already pretty weird, so why not spice it up a bit more? Let's see what this piece of mystery and weirdness has to offer.
Tom Sparks and the Quakes of Ruin is a great looking 3D diesel-punk action-adventure game full of crazy weapons, exciting combat and exploration of mysterious underground worlds.
KeeperRL is a Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress inspired dungeon simulator built on top of roguelike mechanics. You become a Sauron-like character, searching for ultimate knowledge of destruction.
A mature, story-oriented adventure game with a unique style. Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. They've just announced Linux support as standard, rather than as a stretch goal as originally planned.
