In case you haven’t heard, Scarlet Hollow is my new choice-driven horror adventure game, which I co-create with me spouse. I draw all the art assets using traditional media, they code the game, and we both write it together.

Trapped in the dying Appalachian mining town of Scarlet Hollow for the funeral of your estranged aunt, you quickly find yourself at the center of a dark mystery that threatens your life and all the people you’ve met. Who lives, who dies, and the fate of an entire town rests on your shoulders.

Play it now on Steam and itch.io!

Foreign Sun has officially launched on Linux PC, Steam Deck, and Windows, bringing an intense 2D choice-driven action RPG game. All credit goes to the creative team at Final Scene. Which is now live on Steam with a discount. I didn’t expect Foreign Sun to launch like this. One minute I’m checking out a trailer, the next I’m already imagining choices I haven’t made yet and consequences I probably won’t like. It's a 2D choice-driven action RPG that has pull. The kind that makes you lean forward without realizing it.

This didn’t start as what it became

So here’s the wild part. Foreign Sun wasn’t even supposed to exist like this. It began as a Nintendo Switch port of Biomass from 2020. Simple idea, right? But somewhere along the way, the devs at Final Scene looked at what they had and decided to go bigger. Way bigger. They rebuilt it into a full standalone game. New art. New design. A deeper world. More choices. More consequences. It still carries the DNA of Biomass, but now it feels like something that finally found its true form. If you played the original, there’s a familiarity here. If you didn’t, you’re not missing anything. This world stands on its own.

Foreign Sun combat that actually asks something from you

Let’s talk combat, since this is where I got hooked. This isn’t button mashing. You’re working with posture mechanics, while timing your strikes, and breaking enemies down piece by piece. It feels deliberate. You also unlock hidden techniques over time, and once that clicks, fights start to feel like controlled chaos in the best way. Then there’s the twist. You gain powers from something… not entirely trustworthy. It helps you. It changes you. And yes, it comes with a cost. So that tension never really leaves.

A world that reacts to you

What makes Foreign Sun stand out is how much your choices matter. You’re moving through this sinking city, meeting factions that all want something different. No one is fully right. No one is fully safe. You decide who to trust, who to betray, and when to switch sides if it benefits you. And the game remembers. You start noticing small changes first. Then bigger ones. Entire outcomes shift depending on what you did earlier. It’s the kind of design that makes you think twice before every decision, even when you’re just trying to survive the next fight.

Not everyone you meet wants you alive

You’ll make a few allies. Maybe. But most of what you’ll face is trying to end you. The variety of enemies is solid. Different weapons keep things fresh. Some fights feel almost unfair until you figure them out, and when you do, it’s satisfying in that old-school way. It respects your time, but it doesn’t go easy on you.

Power always comes with a price in Foreign Sun

As you push toward the Eternal Lighthouse, things get stranger. You unlock abilities that let you alter your form and move through the world in ways that didn’t seem possible at the start. It opens paths, secrets, and shortcuts. But the game keeps reminding you that nothing comes free. That quiet sense of risk sits under everything you do.

Linux and Steam Deck players get their moment

Reigns: The Witcher launches you into a quirky, choice-driven adventure game due to reshape Geralt’s legend, now fully playable on Steam Deck and Linux via Windows PC. Thanks to the creative spark that Nerial just keeps bringing fresh personality. Which you can now find on Steam and Humble Store with 93% Positive reviews. I didn’t expect to fall back into The Witcher universe with a swipe of my thumb, but here we are, mud on our boots, a song in our ears, and fate hanging on a single left or right decision. Reigns: The Witcher doesn’t just revisit Geralt of Rivia’s legend, it retells it like your loudest, most dramatic friend at the tavern, and somehow it also works beautifully. This is a dark fantasy choice-driven adventure told sideways. Literally. TNerial and Devolver Digital teamed up with CD PROJEKT RED and took the familiar Reigns formula, then drenched it in swamp water, monster blood, and bardic exaggeration. You’re Geralt, but the story belongs to Dandelion. Every choice you make becomes another verse in his ever-growing ballad, polished, dramatized, and occasionally blown way out of proportion.

One swipe, one consequence, one mess

If you’ve played a Reigns game before, you know the rhythm. A card slides in. You swipe left or right. Simple, right? Not here. In Reigns: The Witcher, every swipe ripples across the Continent. Help a village today, and tomorrow the mages might hate you. Chase coin instead of honor, and suddenly nobles sing your praises while monsters multiply. The genius part is how casual it all feels. You’re making life-altering decisions with the same motion you’d use to skip a song. And yet, the weight is always there. This is still a witcher’s world—nothing stays simple for long.

Familiar faces in Reigns: The Witcher, twisted through song

You’ll cross paths with Yennefer, Triss, Vesemir, and plenty of other familiar names. But don’t expect clean retellings. Since everything is filtered through Dandelion’s voice, which means even a routine contract can turn into a heroic epic… or an embarrassing disaster. Sometimes both. That framing also gives the game its soul. You’re not just playing events, since you’re shaping how history remembers them. Or misremembers them.

Combat, chaos, and bardic nonsense

Between story beats, Geralt still does what Geralt does best. You’ll also fight the Drowned, the Rotten, and other unpleasant things that crawl out of the mud. Combat shows up as quick minigames, nothing bloated, nothing over designed. Just enough action to remind you that this legend was forged with steel, not just words. And the stories? Thousands of branching possibilities. Quests collide. Characters react. Songs evolve. Dandelion keeps score.

A perfect fit for Linux and Steam Deck players

The Fermi Paradox choice driven story strategy to see support in Linux gaming and Mac with Windows PC. Thanks to details from developer Anomaly Games. Due to release into Steam Early Access next month. The Fermi Paradox is release onto Steam Early Access on July 1. This will include support for Windows PC for the year or more of development. Likewise, support in Linux gaming and Mac will also be in the mix. According to details via the Discussions post.

I will cautiously say yes. But we will do the Early Access phase on PC first ( because we are a small team and testing every small update on Linux and Mac would be a lot of work ) and when EA is finished we will tackle the other platforms. We might do some beta tests that are not on Windows before we leave Early Access but this can take a while.

So clearly this will not be a day one port. However, it's also a pleasure to see that a Linux port might be available for the Beta. Which is due to arrive before The Fermi Paradox leaves Early Access. The development phcase is due to last for roughly a year or longer. The game engine be used, Unity 3D.
