Works fine on wine on linux. For high resolution, you can download it on WSGF. Just choose the folder suiting your screen resolution and copy paste the two files in the game folder and enjoy! (also works on linux)

I'll always have 2001.
When I first played Anachronox 24 years ago, it became an instant, lifelong favorite. So when I saw it on GOG, I didn’t hesitate to add it to my wishlist. The moment it dropped to $0.97, I bought it without a second thought. Many classic games stand the test of time—I can replay Doom, The Sims, Deus Ex, or Resident Evil endlessly, and they still feel great. Unfortunately, Anachronox hasn't aged as well. It’s aged like milk. After about an hour, I tapped out and requested a refund. The graphics and story still hold up, even by today’s standards, but the gameplay feels clunky and frustrating. At least I’ll always have my memories of playing it back in 2001. Some games are best left in the past.

Why is lighting so DARK?
There is a big disappointment you'll notice once you start the game--DARK lighting!You can barely find ways to your destinations,and I even need to refer to a video online to complete my first quest!How can I immerse myself in the game when it is easy to get lost?

Only for fans of JRPG. Good visuals.
Would have been a nice game with a little more interactivity and less cut-scenes. The visual environment is perfect, unfortunately the characters are a little bit too satirical and the story isn't that engaging to keep back after having often backtracked and having the same cut-scenes showed in your face again and again. Worth playing a little, but don't bother persisting if you encounter serious trouble. Well, I played it for 3 days, out of which a lot have been just loading, backtracking and cutscenes. If someone wants this game as a gift - ok to buy, but avoid it unless you are a big fan of JRPG and their stilted narration and combat system. OMG this never ends does it? I'll use yammer then - Why do they need a minimum review length now? Do they seriously think it will deter people from leaving negative reviews for the games people don't really like, of course it won't.

Great old-Eidos ideas, poor execution
The setting and presentation of the world completely reminds me why Eidos was such a powerhouse during this time period. I was instantly hooked on the story, despite the gameplay being a bit wonky. Ultimately, after about 3 hours of playing, re-treading old ground countless times, and fighting minimal, repetitive grunt battles, I had to uninstall. I found that all the cutscenes and such are on YouTube and, combined, it only takes a couple of hours to watch. To me, that is the efficient and ideal way to experience this story - without the boring and bland gameplay.
