The Novelist exploration and story game has been released onto Linux with the latest update, the game focuses on one single family and it's your job to look after them.

You play as a ghost who can read the family's minds and help the father "Dan" in whatever way you wish, it seems there are costs for everything you do so tread carefully.

This is another very interesting game, one that I haven't seen done like this before and I can't wait to try it.

Full list of changes in this version:
QuoteMajor Changes

Added Linux support
Added customizable controls
Upgraded to Unity 4.3, which brings performance and memory improvements

Bought this, as I remember being interested when it was released for Windows. Great news. Only problem is that Jagged Alliance just released too, now I've bought both. Dilemma! Which to play first...?
