Veritas is a Myst-like adventure game for Mac and Windows PC, but the dev wants Linux support. Thanks to a recent reply from Glitch Games. Which is currently live on Steam and Itch.io.
Veritas is a Myst-like adventure asks a question. What is truth? And does it even matter? Glitch Games launched their new adventure puzzle game. Which is also available with a Free new Windows PC demo (works using Proton) on Steam. That being said, I reached out for details about Linux support.
We use the Corona SDK which I believe does have some early support for Linux. But I’ve never properly looked into it but I’d certainly like too.
I’ll try to carve out some time to look into it when I can. As it would be nice to support another platform.
This is good news for Linux. Veritas support is still a work in progress. But Corona should also work using the latest Ubuntu builds. Glitch also goes on to explain, “it would be nice to support another platform.”
The studio is rather involved in supporting their current games. And the only platform missing is Linux. So here’s hoping for good news going forward.
Similarly, the Veritas full release is currently untested using Proton. But since the Demo works well, I’d imagine the full game will as well.

Helping to solve the strange puzzles that stand in your way.

Glitch are also the creators of adventure mystery series Forever Lost. There is no Linux support for the past series. However, Veritas is accessible as a spiritual successor. And hopefully introduce the genre to new gamers. Or those looking for a new take on the adventure genre.
