Quoting: melkemind
Quoting: razing32Hmm , steam lists it as Mostly Positive.
Any chance the dev would send in a key ?
Seems getting to the promised "dark" content is a bit of a slog.
Curios to see a playthrough before i consider a purchase.
Interesting. I'm not sure I'd want to grind for hours just to see some darkness. I could just go play Streets of Rogue and get it instantly...or even just play real life. :'( Somebody hold me.
*virtual hug*

The Little Ball That Could is a rather great marble platformer that's now out on Linux

You should have used footage from the Friday stream
Your deaths were hilariously glorious :D

Confessions of a Brogue junkie

I guess i can see how the lack of leveling and classes combined with quick restarts could make it addicting.
Still , compared to the fact that most people today in gaming seem to be addicted to lootboxes and microtransactions someone being addicted to a game for its actual gameplay and quality is refreshing :)

Nice intro to Brogue there Kels ;-)

Quoting: oldrocker99Back 10 years ago, Neverwinter Nights was the only commercial game to have a Linux client, and, as I had already played the game since 2002, I was overjoyed, and have played hundreds of hours on Linux.
No, the original Doom was one of if not the first commercial game to have a Linux client, way back in 1994:

Abuse by Crack Dot Com even had Linux releases published by Red Hat in 1997:

Not to mention Loki Software, more from id Software, Hyperion, Tribsoft, LGP, and many more.
All true, but the Diamond Edition of NWN was the only easily-available game (you could find in stores--how quaint!) I could get, and, when I later got some Loki games, they simply weren't any fun, mostly C+ games that didn't hold my interest. I do love Kohan:Immortal Sovereigns, but haven't played it in 7-8 years.

And I hate and despise FPS games. Because I totally suck at them.;)
I thought I was the only one that experienced the Kohan series.
Seems today you only can via wine, but there is nothing comparable even on Windows as far as i know.
Kohan was cool, I played only a bit of it, but it was good. It is too bad we do not have an easy way of getting a hold of the old Loki and LGP games on Steam. Myth 2 was ported as well, and I loved that game!
Oh yes.
I remember the Myth series.
Loved the story of the first two.
Third one was more hit or miss.

Well , the idea is certainly refreshing .
More on the humour this time while Oxenfree was more mystery.
Still , worth a ...shot.

Quoting: STiAT
Quoting: razing32Will wait till release of 3rd one.
Hope they draw the story to a conclusion properly.
The books quite didn't. At least if you ask me. Why would they? Life is an open end.
Well true , but then what's the point of writing a story in the first place ?
I haven't read the book so can't speak to that.
