As of this update, Linux players can now experience the nightmarish joys of driving through the fog-filled apocalypse of Fear Equation! Plus, a special treat for custom passengers.
Fear Equation has been updated to version 2.0.2! This patch marks the release of the Linux version of the game.
While we can only officially support Ubuntu 12.04, the game should run on a variety of distributions. A Linux technical demo is available if you'd like to check if the game is compatible with your setup: https://forums.screwflystudios.com/index.php/topic,890.0.html
We've received a number of requests from players asking for a full, customised allotment of passengers and as of 2.0.2, this is now possible! The custom game screen has been tweaked to support up to 150 player-made passengers.
Finally, we've added five achievements based on the mysterious Wanderers. Time to harness the power of the fog for your own ends...
The changelog for 2.0.2 can be found below:
- Added: Fear Equation is now available on Linux. Please note the game is only officially supported on Ubuntu 12.04.

It is recommended (but not required) you start a new game after updating, as saved games may not be compatible between versions.
