I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals. Player discretion is advised. If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor. Untreated gaming addiction may result in severe consequences such as digestive disorders, social behavioral disorders, loss of job, and depression.

It's also on Steam for a couple of bucks if you want a simple way to support the dev!

That gives 30% to Steam though. Better use Itch.io as linked on the github page.

Income from Steam is what ultimately made gaming on Linux viable. And to do that, they made significant open source contributions.

So I'll keep giving them money of course.

And it has a ton of features like cloud save which I really wanted after losing my save once distro hoping. The 30% cut is justified imo(you don't have to agree to it, it's just my opinion).
