Quoting: Whitewolfe80They have also added Mad Max which at one point had a native linux version not sure if there is a pengiun verson on gog though and its been delisted on steam
Windows only according to the store page. Too bad. I enjoyed Feral's Linux port, but I don't think any of their stuff has ever been available on GOG.

Quoting: tuubiTimed hot-spots sound annoying. Like quick-time events you need to chase around the screen. But maybe they're not as bad as they sound? If they are, they'll definitely ruin the fun for me.

Looks great otherwise.
I believe there was an option to turn the timed part of it off.
Good to know. Thanks.

Enjoyed the first part. This looks like more of the same, but I'm fine with that.

Analgesic Productions (Anodyne) announce Sephonie, a story-driven 3D parkour platformer
17 Mar 2021 at 4:47 pm UTC

Looks like this could be a good 3D platformer, even if the word "parkour" made me expect something slightly different.

I haven't actually played any of their previous stuff. Anodyne 2 looks really fun and it's been on my wishlist since I first saw it mentioned here on GOL. But I guess All Our Asias is free if I wanted to get a feel for their style of storytelling.

Windows 'not an emulator' compatibility tool Wine 6.4 out now

Quoting: STiATWhen they talk about vulkan rendering fixes, has this any impact on VKD3D/D9VK or is this their Vulkan implementation they are talking about?
The Wine release notes wouldn't list fixes to third-party software, so yeah, they're talking about WineD3D.

Interactive movie adventure The Dark Side of the Moon is out now

Quoting: dpanterIf you're referring to the Pink Floyd album, "obscure" ain't the word you're looking for. It's one of the most well known and most highly regarded albums of all times. :wub:
Yeah the album is anything but obscure, but he probably thought his Roger Waters quote was a bit less well known. In any case, it brightened my workday, reading his comment with "Time" playing in the background.

The Dark Side of the Moon is a brand new interactive movie
There is no Dark Side in the Moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.
It's a damn good album though.

Chilled-out first-person puzzler Faraway: Director's Cut is out now

Quoting: tuubiIf you're looking for similar games on Linux, both Quern [External Link] and Haven Moon [External Link] are worth playing.
Must agree; both are great, although Haven Moon is way shorter (about 1/7th the play time here).
I bought Haven Moon for something like 0.90€ so the length didn't bother me at all. :D

Quoting: tuubiNot challenging? So it's a modern tribute to Myst for those who didn't actually like the Myst series? :tongue:
I tried to express something along these lines but failed, mainly because I didn't actually play Myst. I got the impression that it was hard in some... unpleasant way. So references to Myst are actually putting me off, though I do like hard puzzlers.
It's been ages since I played Myst, but I don't recall it being very difficult. It's follow-up Riven I never managed to finish. Maybe I should give that one a go again. 20 years of experience could lead to new insights :)
I don't remember if they're particularly hard, but they do require some thinking and some clues can be easy to miss.

If you're looking for similar games on Linux, both Quern [External Link] and Haven Moon [External Link] are worth playing.
