Looking a lot like a classic Resident Evil game but switching things up to be turn-based, with dungeon exploration - House of Necrosis looks genuinely very cool. It will have Native Linux support and a demo is available right now, with the release date recently announced to be October 6th.

What a lovely unique blending of genres we have here. Indie developers really do come up with some wild combos.

From the Steam page:

House of Necrosis is a turn-based horror RPG, inspired by the early 3D Survival Horror games of the 90s.

A special forces team went missing while investigating bizarre murder cases in an old mansion near the forest. You were sent to discover why.

[A HORRIFYING RPG]

Level up your character and upgrade your weapons while making your way through a house of horror.

[MYSTERIOUS DUNGEONS]

Wander through the endless halls of the mansion that change every time you enter.

[JUST LIKE BACK IN THE DAY]

Inspired by the 32-bit classics, House of Necrosis looks and feels like your favorite 90s games.

If this were reminiscent of a Nintendo property rather than Capcom they'd be sued already. Not saying Capcom isn't going to do anything, but at least it isn't a complete certainty.
