I never finished playing this game because it's terrible. Not terribly made, but terrible to experience. It's just too damn scary. And the immersion doesn't help. ♥♥♥♥ that dog. And ♥♥♥♥ that spider.
They added the Windows version of the game to GOG but not the Linux version? Guess I'm buying on Steam. I'm sure Paradox as the binaries sitting in an old NAS somewhere, just give us BOTH versions of the game

Scarface: The World Is Yours
Scarface: The World Is YoursThe game begins in the film's final scene, with Tony Montana's (Andre Sogliuzzo) mansion being raided by Alejandro Sosa's assassins. But this is the point of divergence from the film. Instead of being killed by the Skull, Tony manages to sense him and shoots him down. He fights through his mansion, with many deaths on both sides. In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing. Hiding in a safehouse located outside of Miami, Tony regrets the decisions he has made but swears revenge on Sosa.
