Due for release in early 2022, it's a while away yet and they're currently crowdfunding it on their own website which seems to have launched back in November 2020. So far they've managed to raise over $28K.
As for continued Linux support? That's confirmed. Writing on Steam, one of the team mentioned clearly that it will happen but not at day-1. Linux and macOS will follow after Windows once they've all been tested enough, which is what they did with BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION.
Why it never got released on GOG?
Quoting: scaineSTASIS had no Linux support, so I skipped that one.It's in the beta branch on Steam, or at least it was when I played the game last year. But yeah, no idea why it never was released on GOG...
Quoting: whizseIf it's not advertised with Linux support, then (beta or not) I'll avoid unless it's a game that I want to support for some other reason.Quoting: scaineSTASIS had no Linux support, so I skipped that one.It's in the beta branch on Steam, or at least it was when I played the game last year.

Just played 25 minutes of CAYNE and it's really not my scene. I skipped through a YT playthrough to satisfy my curiosity, and I'm glad I did. Old school point-n-click, with a horribly clunky hunt-the-interactive-thing mechanic. Glad I avoided wasting my time on it.
Time to try out Desolation.
Quoting: CorbenNice! When I asked about Linux support on [twitter](https://twitter.com/StasisGame/status/1328670725532758016?s=20) in November, it wasn't 100%.Yep, glad to see they are comitting to it at last.
Quoting: scaineThis reminded me that I was going to buy Beautiful Desolation! Nice - downloading now. I bought CAYNE as well, since it was pretty cheap, but STASIS had no Linux support, so I skipped that one.CAYNE was pretty cheap indeed. It costs all of nothing. The Brotherhood thanks you for you support :tongue: Stasis is pretty much the same thing (which I personally like). The Linux version had a few issues (only one major when I played it). At least the major one got fixed, but I suppose they didn't feel comfortable announcing it properly. For their other games they switched from Visionaire to Unity.
Since I do a good point and click every once in a while, I'll be getting it as soon as it comes to Linux.
Quoting: scaineTime to try out Desolation.If you didn't like the others then you won't like BD!
