Bendy And The Ink Machine base on a cartoon made back in the 30's where you (an animator) re-visits the old studio and find that something has gone terribly wrong. Expect jump scares, spooky cartoon-esque environments, survival elements and puzzles. This first person horror adventure doesn't disappoint. It may be short, but currently on sale during the Steam summer sale....
Timeout is a brilliant point-n-click 2D 3D action adventure mystery. Everyone live by time. If your time runs out, you die. So of course the world has commercialized buying & selling time to stay alive. Investigate a case where fake time is killing people because they are deceived into purchasing a clever deal on time.
Timeout demo ran perfectly in Linux. I was able to play and control my character without any graphical issues or performance issues on my...
A Forbidden Place demo is a creepy lowpoly pixel horror/puzzle mystery. Read the mysterious notes about the library and enter the surreal realms of the Librarian.
This demo is fairly long for an introduction to the game and setting. I never had any issues with ProtonGE in PlayOnLinux and was able to play through the entire demo.
Snake Pass looks like a kids game from Nintendo, but after playing it is quite a realistic snake challenge. Slither up and around bamboo objects to collect bubbles, coins and medallions to complete each level. It was definitely created with a controller in mind, but I was able to play with keyboard & mouse.

Encodya is an point-in-click adventure based in a futuristic Neo-Berlin Germany. Play as Tina and/or SAM-53 her robot protector. The visual style is reminiscent of Bladerunner-ish world with a colorful anime style.
I love the fact that you can play as two characters who are completely different and have their own inventories. The voice acting was great and worked well with the characters presented in the demo. I would love if more items were interactive, but these days gamers no longer have...
Contemp is a very short horror puzzle game where you explore a mysterious haunted house. It is almost like an experimental tech demo. The design of the house is amazingly detailed and realistic. If anything, enjoy the terrifying experience in this creepy house.
I was able to play in PlayOnLinux with Wine and DXVK. Never had any issues running the game or controlling it.
