UnderMine 2 fully supports mods and the Steam Workshop. With visual scripting, custom tile sets, and dev tools built right in, you can build your own dungeons, create unreal relics, or just download the wildest stuff the community can cook up.

Thorium’s aiming big with this one — they’ve got plans stretching one to two years out, and this Early Access release is just the beginning.

Morriton Manor Stories: Nordic Whispers a detective RPG adventure game, is a time-twisting mystery coming to Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative minds at Backwoods Entertainment, the mystery is now in good hands. Due to find its way onto Steam.

Get ready, fellow gamers – something dark and delicious is brewing on the horizon, and it’s got our attention.

The game is a collaboration between Backwoods Entertainment, and Application Systems Heidelberg.

And for fans of that universe, you’re in for a real treat – this isn’t just a spin-off. It’s a fully fleshed-out story set in the same gothic, gaslight-soaked world, with original creator Hauke Gerdes onboard. All due to bring the eerie vibes to life.

Morriton Manor Stories: Nordic Whispers Trailer

So what’s the deal?

Where demonic whispers fill the air and nothing is as it seems. With RPG-style skill progression and detective mechanics, you’ll have to piece together clues in this adventure. While you confront ancient evil, and maybe – just maybe – break the cycle. Think detective noir meets Lovecraftian horror, with a stylish twist.

And here’s the kicker: Morriton Manor Stories: Nordic Whispers just secured serious backing from the German state, thanks to Film- & Medienstiftung NRW and MFG Baden-Württemberg. That’s right – the government wants this game to happen. We like to see it.

Even better? You won’t have to wait long to get a taste. A playable prototype will be shown off this August at the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom – a hotspot for killer indie titles that deserve the spotlight.

This will be the third team-up between Backwoods and Application Systems Heidelberg, and it’s shaping up to be their most ambitious project yet. Whether you’re a Morriton Manor fan or totally new to the franchise, this game aims to be something special – accessible to newcomers, rewarding to lore nerds, and packed with heart, darkness, and atmosphere.

Adorable Adventures: A Whimsical Exploration Game

Adorable Adventures: A Whimsical Exploration Game coming to steam deck and linux via windowsALT

Adorable Adventures a third-person exploration game, a wild and whimsical world is coming to Steam Deck and Linux via Windows PC. Thanks to the bold creativity of the team at Wild Sheep Studio, the magic just keeps coming. Working to find its way onto Steam.

Remember Wild Sheep Studio? Yeah, the devs behind that ambitious PS-exclusive Wild—the one that never quite made it but still burned itself into our imaginations? Well, they’re back. And this time, they’re not just aiming big—they’re aiming for the heart.

We are looking to support Steam Deck out of the gate…

Wild Sheep Studio is aiming to bring Adorable Adventures to Linux natively—they’d love nothing more. But right now, it’s a bit too early to make any promises. The team is focused on making sure the game runs smoothly and without issues on Steam Deck first. Built in Unreal Engine 5, they’re all about quality and performance across the board.

Let’s rewind a bit. Based in Montpellier, France, Wild Sheep Studio was founded back in 2013. After the dream of Wild fizzled out, many thought that was the end of the line. But instead of fading away, the 12-person indie team pulled off a rare move in gaming: a comeback story.

Now under the leadership of co-founder Céline Tellier—a badass industry veteran with nearly three decades in the game (literally)—Wild Sheep Studio has rebranded and refocused. And the results are already turning heads.

Their 2024 co-developed project Maestro VR didn’t just launch; it exploded. It was crowned Meta’s App of the Year, praised for its immersive rhythm gameplay, and yeah—if you’ve got a VR PC, it’s worth every megabyte.

Adorable Adventures - Announce trailer

But here’s where it gets really exciting.

Wild Sheep Studio has finally revealed their next original IP: Adorable Adventures. And trust me, this isn’t just some cutesy name for a generic platformer. It’s something deeply personal, lovingly crafted, and also inspired by the raw, untamed beauty of southern France.

Seriously—this a third-person exploration game draws direct inspiration from the team’s real-life encounters in Cévennes National Park. We’re talking lush forests, curious creatures, and even up-close bonding with rescued baby boars. Yes, baby boars. And yes, they’re certainly as cute and chaotic as they sound.

Adorable Adventures is shaping up to be a heartfelt journey—full of positivity, quirky characters, and natural wonder. It’s not about chasing high scores or loot drops; it’s about soaking in an emotional experience that feels real, yet magical. And if you’re a Linux or Steam Deck gamer who avoids cash-grabs, this is the kind of indie title that respects both your OS and your soul.

Their rebrand video alone racked up 89,000+ views on YouTube last year—clearly, people are watching. And from everything we’ve seen, Wild Sheep isn’t just making a comeback—they’re carving out a whole new identity.

So, keep your eyes on Adorable Adventures via Steam. It’s not just a game—this third-person exploration is a love letter to nature, to imagination, and to the kind of storytelling the industry needs more of.

Wild Sheep Studio is all-in. And honestly? So are we. But the release date is TBD.

Update 1.5.3 Brings Exciting Changes to Granvir

Update 1.5.3 Brings Exciting Changes to Granvir on linux and windowsALT

Update 1.5.3 Armature Armaments blasts into Granvir: Zero Front, with explosive new gear and upgrades to the action mech-builder game on Linux and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative minds at Airborne Games, the action just keeps getting better. That you can play for Free on Steam.

Update 1.5.3 for Granvir: Zero Front is here, and it’s not just a patch – it’s a power fantasy upgrade. One that’s about to change how you stomp across the battlefield. Whether you’re a mechhead, a Linux-native pilot, or someone who likes grappling across a canyon to punch a robot in the face… this one’s for you.

Let’s get straight to the juicy stuff: armatures are getting a serious glow-up. You know those wrist-mounted gadgets – grapples, pile bunkers, cannons – that you always wished you could use? Even while carrying a massive two-handed weapon? Guess what? Now you can in Update 1.5.3. Yep, finally, your support arm can pull its weight while you swing that two-handed slab of metal around. It’s like dual-wielding chaos and precision – and it feels so right.

To crank that up even more, Airborne is introducing a whole new lineup of grappling armatures. These bad boys don’t just latch onto targets – they yank you toward them. Get in close, fast, and make your point with a sword to the hull. If you’re eager to test it out, hop into the Engineer or Hero loadouts – both come ready with grapples due to rip.

Granvir: Zero Front Gameplay Trailer up to Update 1.5.3

But it’s not all just flash and smash – there are some seriously smart changes under the hood too:

  • One-handed melee weapons now have zero heat cost on basic attacks. That’s right, swing away without cooking your core. (Alternate attacks and two-handers still heat things up, though.)
  • New gear drops like the GB01 high-fire-rate back cannon, the BK03 four-port torso, and BB02 tier 3 legs with amazing durability are up for grabs.
  • Mech stats are more dynamic: light loadouts now give you speed boosts, sprinting got smoother, and there’s even a pumping animation if your arms are free or holding something light like a knife (for that extra dramatic flair).

Update 1.5.3, on the quality of life front, expect better UI feedback in this mech-builder, improved tutorial clarity, and new camera motion during melee action attacks. This also adds a visceral kick to every swing.

And for you squad fans: co-op still supports up to 10 players, and yes, the final boss got a bit of a nerf when you roll deep with your team. Less bullet sponge, more fun.

If you’re the kind of player who likes to mix tactical loadouts with full-throttle destruction – and you like doing it on your Linux PC – Granvir: Zero Front is an absolute blast. Think fast-paced third-person mech-builder action, roguelite upgrades, and campaign choices that actually matter. Build it your way. Fight back. And look damn good doing it.

This update isn’t just a tweak – it’s a turbocharged love letter to mech players who live for momentum, grit, and building something awesome from scratch.

Update 1.5.3 is live right now, and it’s free. Go download Granvir: Zero Front and wishlist the full Granvir game on Steam – because this ride is just getting started.

  • Ten unique pieces of gear that change the way you fight and survive.

And yeah, this is just the beginning. More content is already on the way, with a full roadmap dropping soon. The devs are in it for the long haul — and they’ve already localized the game into ten languages, from Japanese to Brazilian Portuguese.

The Price:

Here’s the kicker: it releases at $29.99 USD / £24.99 / €29.99 / ¥3,980, but if you grab it before July 24th, you’ll score a 35% launch discount. That’s a steal for a game that’s already showing this much promise.

Every Day We Fight is a tactical strategy calling your name. Fire it up on Steam Early Access, GOG, or Humble Store through Proton.

Forgotten 23: Explore a Dying Space Station Now

Forgotten 23: Explore a Dying Space Station Now on linux as well as windowsALT

Forgotten 23 a narrative-driven sci-fi adventure game, is  due to launch on Linux as well as Windows PC, bringing its immersive story to a wider audience. All thanks to the continued creative vision of developer KovalGames, the adventure is only getting bigger. Which you can now find on Steam and it’s coming to GOG too.

If you’ve ever wanted to live your own sci-fi nightmare, now’s your chance. Forgotten 23, the debut title from indie solo dev KovalGames (teamed up with publishing platform indie.io), has just crash-landed on Steam—and it’s a mind-bending ride you won’t want to miss. Out now for Windows PC, including full support for Linux coming, Forgotten 23 throws you into a relentless 23-minute time loop on a dying space station orbiting Proxima Centauri b. And the clock’s already ticking.

Yes, the game will be on Linux in the coming weeks – I’m working on optimizing it.

KovalGames has officially confirmed that Forgotten 23 is being developed with Unity 3D—making native support not just possible, but likely. With Unity’s built-in cross-platform capabilities, expanding to Linux is a smart and natural next step.

You play as Max Novak, an engineer sent to investigate a distress signal from a research station known only as The Forgotten. When you arrive, the place is a ghost ship—no crew, flickering emergency lights, and corrupted logs. Also, an AI that’s just a little too calm about the whole thing. Before you can even get your bearings, the entire station starts falling out of orbit. You’ve got 23 minutes until it slams into the planet below… and then everything resets.

Forgotten 23 | Launch Trailer

Welcome to the loop.

Every cycle begins at the moment Max first steps aboard. Whatever you learned before the crash? That knowledge stays with you. Everything else? Wiped clean. You’ll also need to use that time wisely—dig through encrypted logs, and unlock sealed doors. This includes fixing broken subsystems, and try to figure out what happened to the eight researchers who vanished without a trace. The AI says it’s helping, but can you really trust it?

There’s no combat in Forgotten 23. No aliens to shoot. Just you, your brain, and a slowly crumbling station filled with secrets, glitches, and increasingly weird anomalies. The environment itself starts changing with each loop,. While throwing in new twists every time you think you’ve got it figured out.

Puzzles grow more complex, supplies get tighter, and the pressure never lets up. It’s a race against time, sure—but it’s also about observation, memory, and solving a mystery that digs deep into themes of knowledge, survival, and what happens when machines remember more than we do.

Inspired by the philosophical sci-fi of Stanisław Lem, Forgotten 23 offers a fresh, uniquely Polish perspective on the genre. And yes, the game’s fully available in both English and Polish.

Forgotten 23 narrative-driven sci-fi adventure game is out now on Steam for just $12.99 USD / £9.99 / 10,79€ — and for a limited time, there’s a 20% launch discount. But  still coming to GOG. Offering support for Windows PC, but soon Linux as well.

If you’re a fan of looping timelines, lonely space stations, and games that make you feel something, don’t sleep on this one. Just… don’t forget to breathe.

The Drifter debuts with Dark Thrills and Twists

The Drifter debuts with Dark Thrills and Twists on linux mac windowsALT

The Drifter launches a gripping, fast-paced point and click thriller game with mind-bending twists on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the ongoing creative talents of developer Powerhoof with Dave Lloyd. Which you can now find on Steam and GOG with its 96% Very Positive reviews.

Something dark is stirring in the shadows, and it’s finally clawing its way onto your screen. The Drifter launch is live on Linux — and it’s already looking like the next cult hit for fans of fast-paced, story-driven adventures.

Brought to you by the twisted minds at Powerhoof—the same duo who gave us Peridium and the arcade carnage of Crawl. So this isn’t your usual point and click thriller. The Drifter is a gritty, heart-pounding pulp thriller that grabs you by the throat and drags you into a world of conspiracy, resurrection, and relentless paranoia.

Meet Mick Carter. He’s been drifting from job to job, place to place, never sticking around long enough to make roots. But when he jumps a train heading back to his hometown, things take a wild turn. Mick witnesses a brutal murder, gets chased by high-tech goons, tossed into a reservoir, and drowns.

Sounds like game over, right? Wrong.

The Drifter - Launch Trailer

Just as the lights go out, something snaps—and he’s suddenly back. Alive. Moments before his death. It’s like reality just rewound itself, but something else came back with him. Now he’s a man on the run, framed for murder, hunted, and haunted by more than just his past. There’s a deeper evil at play—something ancient, something obsessed.

And you, my friend, are in for one hell of a ride.

Powerhoof isn’t messing around. The Drifter launches a razor-sharp narrative that doesn’t waste a second. Every beat hits hard. The mystery pulls you in deep, while the smart, subtle puzzles keep your brain engaged without breaking the flow. It’s slick, addictive, and beautifully brutal.

Let’s talk style—because this title oozes it. From the crunchy, detailed pixel art to the snappy, high-impact animation, it looks like a playable VHS fever dream. Think Stephen King dread, John Carpenter chills, and Michael Crichton tech paranoia—spiked with a shot of ’70s Aussie grindhouse.

Roguematch: The Extraplanar Invasion Is a Game Changer

Roguematch: The Extraplanar Invasion Is a Game Changer steam deck linux mac windowsALT

Roguematch : The Extraplanar Invasion is a puzzle turn-based dungeon crawler game for Steam Deck, Linux, Mac and Windows PC. Thanks to the creative talents of developer Starstruck Games. Now gaining popularity with it’s 78% Positive reviews on Steam.

Alright, adventurers—strap in. Roguematch : The Extraplanar Invasion isn’t just another dungeon crawler. It’s a chaotic mashup of tactical puzzle turn-based dungeon crawler, and brain-twisting puzzle mechanics on Steam Deck as well as Linux. Due to offer full-blown elemental warfare, all inside a castle that’s been overrun by creatures from beyond the known realms. Oh, and you’ll be using Match-3 combos to lay the magical smackdown.

This title kicks off like your usual “simple fetch quest” between three friends, but things go downhill fast. We’re talking dimension-ripping, castle-crippling, mana-flooding levels of chaos. One minute you’re hunting a book—next thing you know, the entire fortress is under siege by elemental nightmares from planes of lava, steam, mud, and… whatever twisted place Orochill came from.

The Core Loop? Tactical Mayhem.

Every room in the castle is locked down tighter than a mimic’s mouth. To move forward, you’ll need to do more than just smash enemies. You also be uncovering magical sigils, blasting glowing crystals with raw mana, and dancing around pressure plates that can trigger (or disarm) defenses. Roguematch : The Extraplanar Invasion is not just a fight for survival; it’s a fight to outsmart the environment.

The real twist? Your primary weapon isn’t a sword or spellbook. It’s a Match-3 grid. But this isn’t your grandma’s gem game—every match you make fuels your magical powers. Want to freeze time? Match Time Pieces. Prefer to blast enemies from across the room? Unleash explosive cats (yes, cats) with the Nekomancer. Want to bend the battlefield itself? Use Wildcard combos to control the elements around you. It’s clever, it’s intense, and it feels really good when a plan comes together.

Choose Your Roguematch : The Extraplanar Invasion Fighter (and Their Chaos)

There are six characters, each with their own playstyle. Binky the speedy Bungeoneer dashes through danger, while the Paladinu prefers to shield bash everything in their path. The Nekomancer, obviously, is all about summoning feline fury. Each hero comes with their own quirks and expert abilities—some can pull off multiple special moves per turn if you play your mana right.

And don’t even get me started on the 100+ spells and items you’ll collect. Boost stats, drop elemental storms, summon creatures, or just chuck gear you don’t want and memorize the spell for later. It’s all about adapting on the fly.

Bosses That Hit Like a Meteor

Roguematch isn’t shy about throwing you into the deep end. You’ll square off against over 20 elemental bosses with their own unique mechanics. Orochill blasts you with icy death, Cementicore tries to freeze you in place (literally), and the Lavaiathan? Yeah, Steam Deck and Linux, I hope you brought heat resistance because it will body-slam you into next week.

Environmental Shenanigans

And here’s the best part—everything in the world affects both you and your enemies. Lava, steam, sticky mud floors—Roguematch : The Extraplanar Invasion is all fair game. So go ahead, lure a fire elemental into a mud trap. Flood the room with wind, then spark a fire match and watch chain lightning cook the place. It’s a playground of tactical destruction.

Play It Anywhere

It’s not just a battle—it’s a brilliant, mana-fueled mess of strategy, chaos, and cat magic.


Bridge Constructor Studio drops you into a Build and Fail

Bridge Constructor Studio drops you into a Build and Fail on linux mac and windowsALT

Bridge Constructor Studio launches its wildly fun, physics-based puzzle chaos in the Linux, Mac, and Windows PC game. All thanks to the creative minds at ClockStone, the fun just keeps on building. Which you can now find on Steam. GOG, and Humnble Store.

Alright, builders — grab your hard hats, crank up your GPU fans, and cancel your weekend plans. BBridge Constructor Studio launches on Linux and if you’ve ever dreamed of being an engineer with no rules and unlimited materials, this is your time to shine. Or spectacularly fail in the most beautiful way possible.

From the brainy minds at ClockStone and the ever-consistent publisher Headup, Bridge Constructor Studio launches the latest entry in the hit series that’s made physics fun, explosive, and sometimes hilariously frustrating. Whether you’re a puzzle perfectionist or just here for the physics-based chaos of watching monster trucks bellyflop into a ravine, this game has something for you.

Imagine this: you’re dropped into a tiny animated diorama — a charming little world with snowy cliffs, towering cities, and lush valleys — and you’ve got one job. Build a bridge. But not just any bridge. A bridge that can carry everything from a three-wheeled pizza van to a lumber-loaded beast of a truck. And here’s the kicker — no budget limits. Go wild. Use steel, cables, concrete, wood — whatever you want. Bridge Constructor Studio launches

But if you’re like me and enjoy living dangerously, you’ll want to tackle the optional budget challenges too. That’s where the real bragging rights come in. Build smarter, not bigger. Make a bridge that’s not only cheap but also doesn’t turn into scrap metal when the tour bus hits the center span.

Bridge Constructor Studio | Launches Now

With 70 physics-based puzzles, each one upping the ante, you’re never short on brain-bending moments. And just when you think you’ve nailed it, the simulation starts… and everything you thought you knew about engineering goes out the window. Cue the epic collapses and laughter.

One of the coolest touches? You can create up to five player profiles. So your sister, your roommate, or your chaos-loving nephew can build (and probably destroy) their own creations without wrecking yours.

And let’s be real — Bridge Constructor Studio is more than a game launch. It’s a celebration of glorious failures, tiny victories, and that rush you get when something actually works. It’s a sandbox, a puzzle box, and a physics toybox all in one. And yes, it’s fully available on Linux, so you don’t need to dual-boot into Windows just to get your engineering fix.

So, if you’ve ever screamed “Why did THAT break?!” at your screen while sipping coffee and trying to hold together a spaghetti mess of steel beams — this one’s for you. Find its on Steam. and GOG  for $9.95 USD / £8.29 / 9,95€ with the 17& discount. Regular price on Humnble Store.

Get in there, start building, and remember: the bridge might collapse, but the fun never will.
