If you are into this type of games take a look to StarCrawlers, too.

Do you still have ELEX installed? How it works with the latest WINE version?

I found a fix!

As I said in my first post, I already had libcurl-compat installed, so looking at the run.sh file into the game directory all I have to do was:

- create a lib/ directory (into the game directory)
- copy libcurl-compat.so.4.5.0 from /usr/lib to <gamepath>/lib/
- create the symbolic link: ln -s libcurl-compat.so.4.5.0 libcurl.so.4

And it worked! Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help, but I had no luck and no alternative libcurl anywhere to try :(

It would not be unexpected for a game called "Crashlands" but it crashes on launch ;)

I'm on Manjaro and the game tells me:

./Crashlands: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by ./Crashlands)

If you ask, I already have libcurl-compat and libcurl-gnutls installed, as dependencies of steam-native package. I also have the 32-bit versions of libcurl.

Any help?

EDIT: tried to fix my english

My thoughts? Seems a lot like a "we don't have money and we need beta testers, please hand us some money and do the beta testing" thing...

The brutal FPS 'Apocryph' is planned for Linux, looks quite brilliant

Quoteyes, it's Unity so it shouldn't be a big issue to build it for Linux

Broken unsupported Linux port in 3...2...1...! ;)

I bought it at release but got a refund because the mouse pointer was sluggish (and the framerate in general too). Has it been fixed?

About Black Mirror, I’d also prefer to get good mouse+kb controls.

No, I still have sluggish mouse and low framerates, but that don't impact playability for me. The Gog version of the game is 1.0.2 released 6 august 2016

But I have to say that nearly all Unity 3D based games have poor performances on my system.

EDIT: fixed typos

Italian reviews I read says the game needed a lot of polishing. A reviewer suspected the game had a rushed release to avoid missing the Christmas sales window. I watched some videos showing severe FPS drops here and there, under Windows. That seems in line with what Liam tells in his review. Not owning the game, I can't judge about the story, but the atmosphere seems great. Let's hope developers address all the problems in future patches, meanwhile the game goes straight into my wishlist...

That said, I'm actually playing "Agatha Christie: The ABC murders" and I find it very enjoyable. It's a little bit too linear and slow paced, but all in all has a certain retrò atmosphere that's catchy. Bought for less than 4€ in the last Gog sale and absolutely recommend it to all the point&click fans ;)
