Are you ready for an adventure? Challenges, exploration and puzzles in a narrative driven experience, pick up your camera and test your wits in this first-person mystery by the team behind Quern!

Dimhaven Enigmas on Steam

As reported by GamingOnLinux, the folks behind the modern Myst-like Quern have a native Linux demo out on Steam for an exploration-heavy first-person adventure game called Dimhaven Enigmas.

There’s a Kickstarter with tons of additional information.

In an age of native Linux support getting dropped or passed over I hope it goes well for them.

And if you’re into that sort of thing, Quern is currently 80% off. (Though it’s also 80% off if you’re not into that sort of thing)

    Note that when the changelog mentions "Windows builds" or "Mac builds", they mean the games, not builds of Heroic itself… I think.

    What desktop environments are you using?
  • Plasma. Though on one Thinkpad I’m trying Pop!_OS’s take on Gnome (usable launcher/grid/menu and automatic window tiling).

  • What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?
  • Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.

    I do have a Sennheiser DT 990 Pro (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).

    Dual Boot?
  • Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play games. But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t, or not well. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well. I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

  • Battlestations! What are you gaming on?
  • Say hello to cloudtrap ~ not the beefiest anymore but still running everything I throw at it just fine. A CPU upgrade might be coming, more so for the sake of audio processing than gaming.

  • Battlestations! What are you gaming on?
  • Love the little lights winding their way across your desk!

  • Battlestations! What are you gaming on?
  • They are the same game in many ways, but Paradroid has a flat top-down view with smooth omni-directional scrolling and can quickly become FAST AND DEADLY on any of the more dangerous decks…

  • Battlestations! What are you gaming on?
  • This Quazatron? I’ve always adored Quazatron in static screenshots in magazines. An isometric/3D-ish Paradroid?! <3! But I guess the Zedex was too alien to me to get around to it.

  • SteamOS 3.0 on a jailbroken PS4
  • That could be sweet. Of course, they’ve already tried that, but SteamOS wasn’t really ready then.

    And I suppose anyone can get a random mini PC and install Steam on it…

  • Battlestations! What are you gaming on?

    Text descriptions, neofetches, photos; it’s all fine!

    Here goes… I don’t know what.
  • Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)

  • After update, Steam icon and text size got too small.
  • Oddly enough I no longer have that issue since the update (although it seems to come and go, and be present in the beta but not the ““stable”” client or vice versa). Plasma/Kwin Wayland scaled to 200% on UHD.

  • Best game to play on Linux
  • Oxenfree and Hollow Knight are two of my favourite “current” games. Can’t wait for Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals to come out in a month or so…

    Though Oblivion, Skyrim, and Borderlands 2 might be the ones with the most playtime.

    Nethack variants like Unnethack, Slash’EM and Dynahack are a perennial favourite on any OS since Hack on MS-DOS in the 80s and Nethack on the Amiga in the 90s.

  • Here goes… I don’t know what.
  • Welcome ^^ How do you like our new banner lol

  • TFW the game actually works on GNU+Linux
  • By now I just expect it to work, unless it’s some drm-tastic ultrapopular multiplayer game. I don’t even check protondb any more…

  • Halo Infinite
  • Wine has come a long way! Though Linux-native gaming is not on AAA studios’ radar…

  • Here goes… I don’t know what.
  • It’s always so disappointing when retrocomputing YouTubers don’t do that…

  • Tux Racer OST is an MK-ULTRA project case
  • I’ll have to check it out then.

  • Here goes… I don’t know what.
