Yesterday I bought Goat Simulator.
Say goodbye to your sanity and hello to lots of fun. ItĀ“s even better when playing with friends.
I played with my daughter. She was quite happy with attacking people and licking cars.

You can also lick people and have them attached to your tongue and drag them with you and then climb up cranes with them or jump on trampolines.
Sounds like my day jobā¦

Busy start of the year for me, hence no much progress 
, hereās my update!
January
Finished:

Thaumistry: In Charmās Way - oh boy. I canāt recommend this one enough. This was my first text adventure. Iāll definitely play another, now Iām afraid Iāve been spoiled.
-
Thimbleweed Park - 2nd playthrough, on Android this time.
Also finished these short games (Iām really looking forward to The Librarian by @OctaviNavarro !)
February
Started:
ongoing:
- Hitchhikerās Guide To The Galaxy - I suspect this one will take a while. Havenāt given up yet. But I can see how people can get tired.

Thatās a text adventure?
Yes. You can play it for free here (you need Flash, but this āmodernā version of the game has graphics - yeah!):
If you donāt have Flash, try this:

Itās a strange game, hard to define. I liked it. Itās very short, so easy to give it a try.

Yes! Itās frustrating as hell, but quite funny.
Besides the options that @Someone suggested. You can also try the original DOS version:

I agree. Thaumistry was very very well done. You have been spoiled. If you liked this, I recommend checking out the IFDB for free interactive fiction. Thereās some really good stuff there.

- Kingdom Come: Deliverance: second game I backed on Kickstarter, out since last week, finally got it to run in Wine yesterday. Will likely last me the next half year.
It works on Wine and is playable? Thatās neat! (they have been refunding Linux backers because they probably wonāt make a native version)
Iāve followed development of the game (which was great) since Iāve seen the Kickstarter. I didnāt back because they didnāt promise a DRM-free version though.
Nice to see it will be on GOG soon!
But Iām really unhappy about the stunts they have pulled with physical backer rewards 
Itās a shame.
oh wow. Would have never expected that. Read that itās quite buggy atmā¦ is it ok for you?
It takes some workarounds to get it running, and so far works best with wine-staging 2.21. This post on their official forum got me up and running. Performance isnāt all that great, but I get higher framerates than with The Witcher 3. For me itās playable that way.
Not far along yet, so cannot really say. Iāve encountered one or two minor issues, but nothing game-breaking so far. But as with all brand new games, it likely does not hurt to wait for the first couple patches.
I only ālostā the paper manual, and that isnāt such a big deal to me. I guess higher-level backers had some more to put up with, and that can definitely be frustrating. My own experience with higher pledges is that the cost often exceeds the rewards in the end, especially if you value physical swag more than being immortalized in the credits or elsewhere in the game. I have yet to see one project that actually delivers what was promised originally (Unknown Realm is a hot contender, though ).

The main problem is their communication and attitude regarding those issues.
They have just removed promised stuff.
They didnāt tell backers until shortly before release when everything was already set in stone and packages were on their way.
They didnāt even try to find replacements.
They didnāt apologise.
Their explanations were ridiculous. (e.g. they have sent all eligible backers T-Shirts in size L and told having different sizes would have been a logistical nightmare. Iāve backed hundreds of Kickstarter projects but this was a first!)
This may be true but thatās not my problem. They have managed to get enough funds to hire more than 100 people developing this game and now they donāt care about those backers who initially helped funding this project when no publisher wanted to do so?
Of course sometimes it is necessary to make some changes. But not in this way. Iām glad I didnāt back.
I have seen many delivering their stuff. The latest video game project being TWP.
Oh, I remember seeing Unknown Realm, I must have been too busy back then and missed the dead line, I still have it marked on Kickstarter!
