Reventure the non-linear adventure games “possible port” for Linux with Windows PC. Thanks to feedback from developer Pixelatto. Which also has a full release on Steam as of June 4th.
Reventure ccould be described as a “choose your own adventure” book. But doing so in the shape of a 2D platformer.
Gameplay starts out from the classic monolith premise. “You are a hero, the princess is in danger, go rescue her!” While quickly getting more complicated than that. At least until gameplay completely changes into a unique non-standard adventure.
Linux Support:
It’s developed in Unity and Linux is currently being considered as a possible port.
While is his is good news. Both for the use of Unity 3D and Linux. The game also has a Platinum rating via Proton. But I’d much rather see a native Linux, port personally.
So show that Tux Love in the Steam Discussion. And make sure to Wishlist on Steam.
The Reventure gameplay takes place in short-lived runs. You start with a clear goal in mind. But the game throws at you some button, trap, treasure or enemy. Which will make you deviate from your path into a totally new situation. You’ll also discover something new in the process. And end up with a feeling of “What if I had did THAT instead?”.
That feeling will drive your next goal in Reventure. Closing the loop over and over. Wrapping up a surprisingly addictive loop.
Reventure – Release Trailer (Windows PC, then a Linux port)
On the first runs, Reventure is all about exploration. When you start knowing your whereabouts. The smoothly transitions into a completionist experience. Since you want to achieve every possible ending. As you approach the late game. It all transforms once again. This time into a puzzle platformer. Where you have to carefully plan your journey in order to discover the more exotic endings.
Highlights

- A Twitch integration enables users on a streamer’s chat to take control of the hero’s dialogs.
- The world stays almost the same. Being the player the one that changes after every run.
