I played through Outlast, but gave up on Whistleblower due to the same reasons.

Unfortunately, I hated the controls in the demo so much that I didn't get into it...

While SOMA is absolutely worth playing without too much horror, I'm not sure the same is true for Amnesia: Rebirth.

Quoting: Merriam-WebsterAnti-competitive: 'tending to reduce or discourage competition'
Anti-consumer: 'not favorable to consumers : improperly favoring the interests of businesses over the interests of consumers'
I think he used the term correctly, and you might be mixing up the two terms.
I agree. Of course, anti-competitive behaviour may be bad for the consumer as well sooner or later, but that's not what's defining the term.

I've played Mutropolis, due to the demo they put out in a Steam festival. It's quite good! Just yesterday they put out a little update.
Also yesterday, I realized I was so stuck that I literally used every item not only with every other item, but with every hot spot in every place I could get to. After that, my last resort was to use the hot spot display functionality - which I never use in any adventure. I helped my, I realized that "window" and "window" were actually two different ones, which was not clear to me by the image.
And after that... there came the news what was changed in the little update: They added the hot spot functionality, though they said they didn't consider it necessary. :D

Metro Exodus, Total War: Rome Remastered, Shadow Tactics standalone expansion, Civilization VI DLC and Spacebase Startopia - that's how a Linux gamer day is supposed to be! ;)

Quoting: FrawoOh no, Web Browsers default to Windows? I didn't know that and now my pile of shame mostly consists of Web Browser purchases. Damn...
I remember this differently as well...

Just to make sure, I install every new game and start it up.
(That's also useful to make sure it actually runs.)

Quoting: finaldestIt was my understanding that if a game is purchased on Steam through the Linux client then it automatically qualifies as a Linux sale ????
Ah, sorry, I think you're right!
Welcome back to the Linux crowd! ;)

Quoting: finaldestI got the game back in 2020 during a steam promotion but have yet to install the game as I am waiting for the Linux version to release before playing. This was after the Linux announcement so should count as a Linux sale.
The system is determined in the weeks after the sale, so you're counted as a Windows player.

I just looked up if Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is part of the sale, too.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (personal favourite!) - 50% off
Sometimes, should read the article first. :D
So I'll just add my recommendation for this game here.
(Didn't try it remote, though.)
