Right click, properties, game versions and betas and select "linux-vulkan"Let me know if the game runs ok and if there are any bugs.

- 100 reviews, Linux build, update news - 7 June 2026
Thanks for 100 reviews!I (Zuit, the designer and developer for Idea Fix) personally read every single one. Your feedback is really important to me and it's extremely inspiring to see the warm welcome that the game has received! Keep it up and I'm adding fishing to the game (no promises, but I kind of want to).OOPSI've recently found out the linux build for the game is empty - I assumed it would default to windows one with proton, like on steam deck. Would you kindly (rapture style) please test "next_version_preview" beta branch on a Linux system. UPDATE SPOILERS The update we've been teasing for quite some time is nearing completion - another little gif from it:(yes, you can play the organ)Always happy to talk here or:Send us an email: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/tgqzUKVeKg

- Nom's archives update - 2 November 2025
New update, but also some newsThe Update This update was only possible thanks to Nom, one of our programmers.He single-handedly implemented multiple features while testing and fixing bugs in less than 2 business days.What did Nom do exactly? 1.

- Even hotter fixes - 31 October 2025
Fixed a major bug that was preventing normal player progression. Due to the bug player's current save file might be boosted a bit ahead in the story.We recommend resetting the save if you don't have much progress for an intended experience.Also, make sure you have the latest version.Terribly sorry about that,Zuit, the idea guyAnything else we should look at? Just wanna talk?Find us here:Email: [email protected]: https://discord.gg/tgqzUKVeKg
- Hot fixes - 31 October 2025
Hello there Machine enthusiasts!Thanks for your amazing support!Turns out some puzzles can get pretty hectic if you don't know the exact solution beforehand.Now, I know them because I made them, but some may not be as fortunate.To address that we added some additional hints to the game. To access these you need to be able to go outside and then inside but not back inside. Hope that makes sense!We also fixed some broken text for Mainframe commands.
