First-person horror platformer Blessed Burden adds Linux and Steam Deck support

First-person platforming with a dose of horror? Sounds interesting! Blessed Burden recently added Linux and Steam Deck support.

In the game you play as the "last priest" as you descend deeper into "the deepest depths to destroy the very essence of evil" as you avoid traps, lava and fear itself. There's no need to rush in this one, how you play it is entirely up to you. You can go fast and aggressive or slow and steady while you take in the atmosphere and lore. With a skill upgrade system, you'll gradually get access to improve various movement skills.
