What next, "Acquintance of Daring do" ?

On second thought, that will be interesting title for a game.
Crime in 1960s London, I don't remember any game using that scenario since (or, apart from) "Grand Theft Auto: London 1969" and "Grand Theft Auto: London 1961". It's overdue!

Here's for getting into the mood:

Anamon: Crime in 1960s London
The first thing that occurred to me:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3569230/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_11

A great movie overall.
Weird time for release but I'll bite.
Should fit right in between something like Crookz or Omerta.
Looks like a lite version of Omerta.

The game looks fine. I am more surprised about the timing of release, Saturday and all.
I wonder if this is because of simple change in releases or not having enough time in the near future to release all games. Which sounds deliciously fine by me, even though I can't afford to buy them now.

Some on point releases. Love it. Wishlisted for the moment because of the backlog, but this looks great.

It's not quite the same sort of crime as these mob games, it's much more stylized, and I don't think it even mentions being set in any particular year, but The Marvellous Miss Take -- once sold here, and still available DRM-free from the Humble Store -- is clearly inspired by a certain kind of '60s caper/heist film.

macOS version and no Linux one? That starts getting surprising these days. With Apple's attitude towards gamers, one would expect developers to focus on Linux more.

Upvoted. At least it's not Windows-only.

Developers probably start making MacOS version first because Linux users tend to whine and leave one star review with just one line "It's not working on my Linux version waaaaaah" every time the game failed to run. They then proceed to complain everywhere.

Seriously, I used to want to learn Linux, but the gatekeepers are so horrible they treat newbies asking genuine questions with childish elementary school bully mentality. If they want Linux to be more well known then try to be more helpful and nice to newcomers.

That doesn't sound like a reason. Developers make games for where gamers are. Apple gradually killed macOS for gaming. Linux gaming on the other hand is only growing. So if anyone makes a game for macOS but not for Linux, I'd call it out as strange.
