Quoting: AnzaUser interface feels bit clunky and humor is quite close to being funny. Might eventually buy Procession to Cavalry instead though.
Exactly what I would suggest. I was surprised I found Procession to Cavalry a good point and click, and it has a nice mechanic: If you don't get a certain puzzle, you can circumvent them by killing the respective person. (Game warns you about this being a circumvention, too.)

Thanks for your reports!

Quoting: AnzaIn the end bit clunky, but does have certain charm.
I wasn't playing far into Casebook 1899, seemed too clunky to me.

Quoting: AnzaI wonder if there are more good murder mystery games out there.

I didn't find the demo interesting if I remember correctly.
The Procession to Calvary was quite a good point and click.

Quoting: EhvisSnif. Well, I'll definitely add this last Zach release to my library. Since I only finished three, I still need years to finish them all.
Same boat here, I'm looking forward to more games by him than I've actually played yet. :-D

This isn't some marketing gimmick either, Zach has taken up a teaching job and really is moving on.
Nooooo.....!

Build cities on the back of a giant animal in The Wandering Village — coming to Linux

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: PhlebiacWhat happens when the host creature gets an itch, and rolls over to scratch all those pesky parasites on its back?
Given its biology, I'm not sure it can roll over. :dizzy:

I'm kinda interested in how your villagers get up there in the first place though—the game kinda glosses over it.

One of the highest rated games on Steam, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is Steam Deck Verified

Quoting: ixnariWhat, did they not know about the 1% market share when they were coding D:OS and Dragon Commander? Offering Linux support and then backing out after a single game does, generally speaking, not engender good will in the Linux community, as it turns out.
I'm all for native, but it might have happened that they found it was not worth it for them.

I'm surprised everybody seems to love D:OS. I do like classic RPGs, but I gave up on this one due to the stupid rock paper scissors mechanic.

Is the Windows version using the Vulkan renderer? (I guess not.)
