Quoting: scaineSTASIS had no Linux support, so I skipped that one.
It's in the beta branch on Steam, or at least it was when I played the game last year. But yeah, no idea why it never was released on GOG...

Bloody Service is an 80’s slasher inspired FMV and a visual novel, expect lots of death

Quoting: AwesamLinux"Press X to Not Die", "The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker" and "Roundabout" are great FMV games that have native Linux support :wub:

Those games are not that old though, but might be worth taking a look at anyway if you like them FMVs :tongue:
Thanks for the suggestions, wiill add them to the list!

Perhaps you've already seen this, but there does seem to be an implementation of the PS3 streaming protocol available. Adding it to Chiaki might be a fun project for someone?

Wishlisted.

In the mean time, what oldie FMVs have I missed out on? I have played and loved Gabriel Knight 2, and am currently working my way through a Tex Murphy game.
