The Linux version on itch.io is an untested release but runs very well on my GeForce GTX 1060. The only problem I had was the game resolution. I had to add the width/height commands and run it from the Terminal to get 1920x1080. Also the game requires a controller to play, so I used my Amazon Basics Xbox controller without any issues.

I ran the command like this... path to the...

O.V.N.I Abduction ran just fine in stable Wine with PlayOnLinux. I always install DXVK and Media Foundation when testing games, but other than that, the game ran well with my GeForce GTX 1060.

I was able to play the demo from a direct download. Apparently the Launcher has some issues so I didn't even try it. I used PlayOnLinux to setup a wineprefix and extracted the game to it. Then I used Wine 6.0 64-bit to test the game, but had some issues with fullscreen and mouse. I eventually settled on ProtonGE 5.9 because it ran perfectly! No serious issues with my GeForce GTX 1060.

Blade Of Agony is a FPS WWII Doom 2 total conversion. Fight against the Nazi regime in a Call-of-Duty style of gameplay in this unique retro WWII themed levels. Upgrade your gear as you find gold and complete a wide variety of levels in this action campaign.


https://boa.realm667.com/

I was able to play Blade Of Agony in the Linux GZDoom using the command line to launch the game. Unfortunately the 2nd level was extremely slow to the point where it was unplayable. I did a bit of research and tried to made some adjustments in the game, but just couldn't play. So of course I gave-it-a-go in PlayOnLinux with Wine and it plays beautifully! The developers admit that there are some features not meant to run in GZDoom which may play a part in the performance loss with OpenGL.... so give it a try with Wine!

Stormrite is an in-development Open World RPG in a fantasy medieval world. Chose a class like archer, knight, assassin, mage and more... then weild realistic weapons and hack down your enemies. This public test version will put you in a small mountain arena where you can practice using the weapons, learn the physics and controls of the characters. The physics are pretty realistic like Chivalry, where each slice or arrow will contact their body and react accordingly. Its fun to watch how they recoil and swing realistically where you open yourself to danger if you are too offensive.


https://kerds78.itch.io/stormrite

Proton handles the demo fairly well in PlayOnLinux and I was able to play indefinitely by reloading the level every time my character died. I can't wait to see more locations and the "open world" the developers are advertising... but the weapons and realistic physics are top-notch and pretty fun. The demo is developed...

Not all Action RPGs are the same... most have typical features like leveling up, skill tree's, quests and NCPs, but Drova offers some clever combat & crafting features. Play as the warrior Alban in this 2D 8-bit inspired RPG and explore they mysteries of Draheim. You will quickly find that survival is key but it is also a double-edged sword. Heal yourself with flowers but also poison yourself with ether. All things have ether and it can be a blessing and a curse. Learn to use ether as the game progresses and stay alive with your skills, dodge and melee/archery weapons.

Synergy installed without issues and I was able to host on a LAN and my other PCs joined easily. You use the classic listenserver interface where you pick a level start the game. There have been a few unexpected bugs which is honestly... expected with mods. You can not save the game either, but Synergy packs an autosave and autospawn feature so you all can play cooperative together without loosing a lot of progress...

With the help of ProtonGE The Occupation Demo ran flawlessly in PlayOnLinux with my GeForce GTX 1060. Of course I still installed DXVK and Media Foundation. Initially I thought it wasn't running at all, but if you are patient, the first black-screen will start loading. I think there may be a bug with Media Foundation, so I wasn't able to see the intro videos... thankfully it did load and played just fine.

There are very limited areas you can go in order to traverse throughout the house, so take your time and investigate each area before moving ahead. If she catches you, then you have to start over.

The key to this game is to learn where you can hide and where you can't. The developer has done an amazing job creating hiding places in the game. You can use your flashlight to see if there is room under a table, behind a chair or under stairs. You will find that your character can actually fit into tight spaces. This is a unique feature because Ayuwoki will be moving quickly around the house looking for you. Your only warning is...
