An update on the status of Linux support for the sci-fi RPG 'Encased' now it's in Early Access
27 Sep 2019 at 2:09 pm UTC

Looks remarkably like the upcoming Wasteland 3 in a lot of ways, although it's pretty likely that wasn't on purpose. Although I expect they had a lot of the same inspirations, and similar systems (movement areas, map layouts, etc.) do lead to similar results.

Not getting a feel for what the game is about from this trailer, although it does seem worth keeping an eye on.

What's that? Another Steam Client Beta update? With a Linux platform filter? Yes it is

Just curious, if you have Steam Play enabled for all titles does the beta version of the library still count EVERY game in your library as SteamOS/Linux? I find that really annoying in the current release version.

Pretty disappointing about not being able to play a female or customizable protag, but the rest of it looks pretty sharp. Definitely one to keep an eye out for, maybe pick it up once the inevitable round of post-release patches come out.

Maybe this will result in me not having my Featured & Recommended section being 80% VNs when I've bought something like one in my entire life.

By "already beaten it" you mean you have to defeat the corrupt heart? That sounds absolutely horrendous, I haven't even gotten close to beating it in the time I've played. I imagine a lot of people who have the game haven't either.

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: NezchanI liked Pan-Pan, but there were some spots that weren't clear enough, both in terms of what you're supposed to do/where you're supposed to go, and how well you can see some stuff. But if you're prepared for that, it's a good game.
I feel intimidated now. According to howlongtobeat.com, it should take two, maximum three hours. I played one hour and solved half a puzzle and haven't got a clue about the others...
According to Steam it took me about 3 hours, but part of that was an inability to find the entrance to at least one area.

I'm in it for the giant sheep alone.

Still gotta finish Epistory though.

Thanks, I'm prepared now. :)

Quoting: NezchanI'm not familiar with Fire, and I'm not seeing it on Steam. Anywhere I can check it out?
You'll find it here [External Link].

It's, hmm, nice, but it feels more suitable for children, to be honest.
Though with my very limited time it's nice that it has got only small seperated levels, so you can play a single one in say 15 minutes and get to the next one another time.
Oh wow, forgot that even existed. I remember taking a look at it ages ago.

I've been kind of procrastinating on picking this up, but I really should. It seems like something I'd enjoy.

Maybe next week...
