Hi there! Currently there are no linux porting plans just yet! However if there's enough demand for this we'd def. consider it post release

FWIW, with the Steam Play compatibility layer for Linux, I'm able to open the demo, get to the title screen, look at the credits and settings menus, etc., but when I start a new game, the game crashes after the loading screen.

Tested the demo with Proton-5.21-GE-1 and was able to play it from start to finish just fine. No problems with visuals or audio. Even the cutscenes work out of the box for me.

haha awesome, did not expect the demo to run on linux

Indeed. :)
I also checked a playthrough from another player over at Youtube. The only noticeable difference between the Proton and Windows one is that movies currently do not display for Linux users. So things like the snowy train scene at the end, or the booting screens of tablets are "sound-only".

This is probably due to Proton not able to display certain video codecs. Should be pretty easy for you guys to fix though. As just switching to a different codec would be enough.

Maybe to commit the small required tinkering to make it 100% on Linux?

Now if you commit to test patches against proton and keep them working, that might be a pretty easy solution instead of doing a proper native version (which can be more work if you don't think about it from the start and implement windows-specific quirks or middleware) ^^

Yes, I was able to play the entire game using Proton Experimental. The only thing that didn't work as mentioned above were two of the movies in the very beginning and end.

Otherwise, I really really enjoyed myself with the demo on Linux :) Great time! Excited to purchase in the future :D

Probably Media Foundation - maybe GE`s Protonbuilds might help?

I hope to buy the Linux version in the future.

Hi all, we actually found out what is causing the video not to play, has to do with our video encryption apparently. We'll keep an eye on this and once we're out of the current have-to-finish-game-now phase we'll def. check it out to see if it's fixable

The upcoming Steam Deck will be Linux-based.

I buy the game if it is ported to linux aswell.

It works on the steam deck

Great news! Steam Deck is a Linux gadget like no other (yet - until Steam Deck 2.0)
