Made in the spirit of Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max, adventure game Splittown released recently

One missed here on GamingOnLinux from earlier in the month, the classic comedy point and click adventure game Splittown had a full complete release. And it comes with Native Linux support, along with being optimized for the Steam Deck too. Recently Valve put it back through verification and swapped it over to the Native version from Proton.

Whats is it? Splittown resurrects the spirit of 90s point and click classics like Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit The Road, bringing a blend of humour, puzzles, and nostalgic artwork. While it takes inspiration from the classic adventures, it introduces features you might find from classic CRPGs too with "branching narratives" and a "world and story that reacts to player choices" that's supposed to give a fresh spin on the genre.

Compared to the Early Access release in January, here's some of what's changed that they listed:

• All new adventures with Otis. Many of you pointed out that Nimby's best buddy Otis felt underdeveloped during EA. Good news! There is now a whole DLC-sized chunk of content (in a new part of the city) where you get to unravel more of the secrets of Splittown with him!
• All-around beefier main story. With 40 new dialogue branches, 4 new characters and more than 700 frames of new animation, the adventure feels more polished and interactive than ever before.
• 30+ achievements. Find easter eggs, hidden gags and cause irreparable damage to the citizens of Splittown all in order to satisfy your digital hoarding instinct.
• Item highlight and in-game hints. This was a tough one, but so many of you asked. Not everyone has the time for endless pixel hunting anymore (adult responsibilities, amirite?) Give the Wimp Phone a call when you are feeling stuck, or toggle on Wimp-Vision™️to highlight interactive items.
• Controller and Steam Deck support. New on-screen glyphs automatically update when switching between a controller and a keyboard. All puzzles have been adjusted to be completeable on a controller as well as the mouse and keyboard.
• Unlockable making-of content. Nearly a hundred pieces of early art, in-development screenshots and other curios for you to find. Collect duckies hidden around Splittown to unlock these extras!
• More hotkeys, more convenience. When playing on mouse and keyboard, you can now use WASD and the arrow keys to navigate menus and interactive scenes. Every inch of the UI has been made slicker and more fun to use.
• Native Linux, always. We heard our Linux fans loud and clear: no Proton shenanigans this time around!
