The turn-based combat makes it quite different from what I thought a visual novel would be like. It's fun -- thanks for the recommendation, I don't think I would have bothered playing otherwise :D

I can totally see Imant's perspective, which is why I'll pass on this one. The developers can use an over-the-top protagonist to illustrate what jerks prejudiced people can be, so this doesn't imply developers themselves believe similarly, but I don't want to play a whole game being mad at the protagonist. Would rather that sort of character be the bad guy that a relatively well-meaning hero must overcome.

Segata Sunshiro, speaking of notable adventure games in the last decade, have you played Book of Unwritten Tales? Native build has been available on Steam for a while, and I loved it. Really looking forward to the sequel, which will be releasing with Linux support.

Assuming this review [External Link] is not just a figment of the author's imagination, it's a good thing I didn't rush out and buy this for my Monkey-island-loving family, they would hate the story just like the reviewer...

Quoting: KelsAny love for Midora [External Link], which is struggling a bit so far? It's got Linux listed right up front.

Midora is definitely not a lost cause yet, could still come through

xbill was one of the most popular games of its day?? It sure didn't hold my interest for long, can't imagine how it could have beaten out original Quake...
