Most of their other games have Linux versions; I wonder if there's an engine-related reason why this one does not.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, you're talking to fish, but you're also eating them and selling them into slavery and/or to be eaten? I always kind of feel like it's not nice to do that stuff to people who talk.
Your post reminded me of the cow at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). As I recall, she comes to the table to describe her various body parts, to help you decide what you might enjoy dining on.

I still haven't played any of the Myst games (despite having most of them by way of a Humble Bundle), but I did very much enjoy this Myst-like with native Linux support:

And they are currently running a Kickstarter (which they successfully used for Quern) for a new game:

Best monthly bundle for me in a while; it's been rather hit and miss lately.

Star Trek: Resurgence update should give a smoother experience on Steam Deck

Quoting: neon_soaked_chryssalidIt is a narrative game, so you're watching cutscenes and making choices through a lot of it. There are segments where you walk around and perform various tasks as well as some combat sections, but the combat isn't the main focus or strong point of the game. The story was pretty decent
So, just like most of the games that were made by the TellTale folks. :-D

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticUh nice! Does someone happen to know if it uses proper HW acceleration across GPU vendors and drivers or does it run in software?
Quoting: ChrisznixHow do they handle the sound? Can you say which audio source they record or is it the main audio sink (on the desktop)?
Quoting: ToddLNow, if Steam's screen recording implementation can do something like the PS5, where it'll record a video of an achievement that you earned in the game, then it'll be a nice touch to what they have right now.
A lot of these questions are answered on their new page about it:

it tries to open a file instead of saving the file.
Sounds like they have fixed that:
(Linux) Fixed export clip dialog not allowing saving.
