Daedalic Entertainment have released the third and final standalone part of the Deponia Trilogy which have seen Linux releases over the last few months.

The DRM free publisher has entered into a partnership with ©Disney to add 20+ classic titles from the back catalogue of now defunct publisher LucasArts Entertainment Company. The first batch of six games were added today. Two of which are available for Linux.

In this article, I want to highlight three active Kickstarter projects, with some comments on why these developers are choosing to support Linux, as well as what they think about the OS.

Bik was originally made available through Humble Widget in July and after having been greenlit just two months later, it got its official Steam release earlier this week. With an entertaining sci-fi story and multiple playable characters I can see why this one quickly became so popular.

Wadjet Eye Games make their first same-day release for Linux with the release of A Golden Wake today. Follow real estate agent Alfie Banks in this retelling of historical events during the Florida land boom in the early 1920s and the following Great Depression.

For those that have read us for some time you will probably know I am a big space sci-fi fan, so J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars ticks literally every single box for me. Here's my thoughts on the soon to be released Linux version.

The Blackwell series cemented Wadjet Eye Games' position as one of the most beloved modern developers of classic point-and-click adventures. Today the first three games will be available for purchase on Linux.

The team behind the Kickstarted game A Song for Viggo have announced that they have teamed up with Talawa Games, the developer of Unmechanical, to launch the game on additional platforms, including Linux.

The people at King Art Games have been true to their word and have released The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 on steam early access for all platforms at once for their backers, which is a nice break from all the "Linux when windows is out and sorted" releases we get these days.

The Journey Down has returned to our Linux gaming boxes with the promise of more pointing and clicking.

Skygoblin have announced a release date for chapter 2 of The Journey Down, which is now available for pre-order. 50% of pre-order proceeds will be going to help build a girls' school in Tanzania.

Bik is quite an interesting looking point & click adventure, and it's available for Linux. We check it out and let you know how it plays.

Gods Will Be Watching is a game that is quite hard to describe, and it's bloody hard as well. It's a pixel art point and click adventure game where you need to be quite brutal.

Quest for Infamy is a fantastic looking love letter to old school point and click adventure games with RPG mechanics and turn based battles thrown in for good measure.

One month after the initial E3 announcement, Double Fine have let slip the PC platforms that Grim Fandango re-release will be launching on.

Daedalic Entertainment has released a bundle of the Deponia Trilogy, adding Linux support for the first time. The Visionaire game engine (which the game uses) now also has Linux support, giving the potential for a slew of similar games to appear on Linux.

Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren`s Call is another rather beautiful hidden object game from Artifex Mundi. The in-game graphics and cinematics are really something, this is one not to miss.

Starry Expanse is quite an interesting project indeed as Riven when it was released was a fantastic adventure game.

Exogenesis is hoping to win it big on Kickstarter. A PC adventure/visual novel hybrid inspired by Ace Attorney and Zero escape games set in post-apocalyptic Japan. It offers up a demo for you to try before you back it too.

If pointing and clicking is mainly your thing then The Samaritan Paradox will interest you. Billed as an Old-school style point & click adventure.
