Quoting: EikeTL; DR:

To be frank with you: A lot of it will depend on what our Steam wishlist activity looks like.

I know some of you don't like this quirky feature, but if you're using it and want to have that game...

Since it actually has Linux system requirements, I have no qualms about adding it to my wishlist this time.

Quoting: NezchanStill waiting for one of these game managers to have Itch integration.

That would be neat if it can also filter by native Linux games. The itch app has unfortunately become quite cumbersome to use, since it just lists everything you own, which can be a lot of Windows games if you bought any of the for charity mega bundles.

Quoting: GamewizardI've been thinking about tracking down a used i7 machine or something similar and sending it Tarn's way. I might email him here soon about it.

I wonder if I would be worthwhile to pitch in together and buy them a cheap computer with Linux pre-installed. Have it ship directly to the developers from a store in their country to cut shipping costs.

Additionally, Tanks of Freedom was also developed with Godot.

When started reading, first thing that come to my mind was to gift it to my girlfriend... Are we that old?

Yes.

QuoteThere's two difficulty modes, a normal mode where you're given small hints when you pick up objects you need and no timer and the extreme mode that has you solve rooms against a clock which certainly increases the pressure.

I wish there was a mode where you were given no hints, but also didn't have to deal with the time pressure.

A reminder about Steam's platform-specific wishlist feature you should be using

I don't think this feature will ever catch on among Linux users. My wishlist of native games is already too long and unmanageable, I don't want to receive emails about releases and sales of Windows games, and I don't want to have to explain to friends and family that they need to check the platform of a game before buying me something from my wishlist. Without 100% adaptation, it's also a mostly useless metric for game developers.

Thanks for the gameplay description, scaine. :) That sounds a lot like the escape room games I played online years ago. I think I'll give the demo a try as well.

Is it a horror game or just dark and atmospheric, like the The Room games?
