The game is out on Linux now! Keep in mind that there might be some problems on certain Linux distros, and we're not sure how to fix all of those problems, but we have added a file with install instructions in the folder containing the executable file (the same install instructions can be found in this Steam guide) and we recommend reading it. Shout-out to:

• Starturbo for compiling the Linux builds, setting things up, as well as writing the install instructions.
• Zeera the Zesty for checking if the game starts up on Steam on her Linux device.
• Mj.Jernigan for this blog post that helped us fix some problems.

v1.0.9 Update Changelog:

• Fixed a bug where Noah's charge attack (which requires you to hold the Melee Attack button and the Down button and then release them when the charge is complete) doesn't work when the Down button is released first.
• Fixed a bug in a submenu of the pause menu where the mouse cursor didn't interact with the menu properly.
• Reverted a change from last patch: The fix for the bug where, on a DualShock controller, the submenu of the pause menu that lets you rebind input buttons would show the touch pad as the PS button. Turns out that this wasn't a bug, the button id (which corresponds to the select button on Xbox controllers as well as PS3 DualShock controllers) does in fact correspond to the PS button on PS4 DualShock controllers, and Game Maker Studio 1.4's manual is just... wrong... about this. Note to self: don't expect the official manual of a product you bought to be accurate all the time. Got it. Thanks.

v1.0.8 Update Changelog:

• Fixed a minor bug in one of the submenus of the pause menu.
• Fixed a minor bug where, when picking up an item for a sidequest, the text in the notification box didn't properly fit inside the box.
• Fixed a bug where, on a DualShock controller, the submenu of the pause menu that lets you rebind input buttons would show the touch pad as the PS button.
• Changed the sprites for the shoulder buttons and trigger buttons on both DualShock and Xbox controllers.
• Changed one of the lines of Noah's internal monologue when he interacts with items in the environment.

v1.0.7 Update Changelog:

• Fixed a crash in a late game dungeon.

v1.0.6 Update Changelog:

• Fixed a bug where two of the weapons sold by the weapon shopkeeper don't appear in the inventory when bought.

v1.0.5 Update Changelog:

• Fixed a crash in a late-game dungeon.

v1.0.4 Update Changelog:

• Fixed a softlock caused by opening one particular chest.

v1.0.3 Update Changelog: [olist]

v1.0.2 Update Changelog:

v1.0.1 Update Changelog: [olist]
