I have finished this game on Linux. You need ags (Adventure Game Studio) compiled on Linux and WINE, but it will be used just once on GOG's Windows installer, not for the game itself.

Here are the steps:
- Download Windows installer of Kathy Rain
- Prepare WINE:
[code]
export WINEPREFIX=/tmp/kathy
[.code]
- Execute the installer:
[code]
wine setup_kathy_rain_1.0.4_(19094).exe
[/code]
- Accept all the default settings and close the installer in the end
- Change directory to /tmp/kathy/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Kathy\ Rain
- Execute ags

Of course, you can copy the Kathy\ Rain directory somewhere else than /tmp and execute ags inside of it anytime.

Seeing as this is not a big issue to run AGS games on Linux, it is a big shame that GOG does not package the game for Linux!
FYI, the Director's Cut version of Kathy Rain will be available natively for Linux!

Details here: https://www.gog.com/game/kathy_rain_directors_cut
Will the Directors Cut be free or at least discounted for people who bought the original version of the game? Not eager to pay full price for an update.

It won't be free, but there will definitely be a discount for owners of the original game! Exact details on that will be announced closer to release.
What are the game requirements for GNU/Linux and why aren't they listed on the game page?
Hello,

I cant tell you why they aren't listed on the game page, but the requirements are almost the same as if you would play on Windows, the only difference, is that you need a graphic card that is compatbile with openGL 3.

Have fun !

(Oh and, Krusbert, thanks again for supporting the GNU/Linux platform !)
