Critically Acclaimed Game 'Receiver' Now Available for Linux

Critically Acclaimed realistic first person shooter Receiver is now available for Linux.

The game has been developed by Wolfire Games, creators of popular cross platform game Overgrowth and Humble Indie Bundles.

Receiver was created for the 7-day FPS challenge to explore gun handling mechanics, randomized levels, and unordered storytelling. Armed only with a Colt 1911 A1 and an audiocassette player, you must uncover the secrets of the Mindkill in a building complex infested with automated turrets and hovering shock drones.

Receiver is made using Unity game engine which got Linux publishing support recently. The game has been praised for its realistic gun mechanics and challenging gameplay. For example, when reloading a gun, you have to pull out the magazine, load it manually and then put it back again. Check out a gameplay video:

Receiver can be purchased for $5 from here. If you have preordered Overgrowth, you will get a copy of Receiver for free.
