    I am obviously missing something here, but how is it "command line"?

      There are graphics, it's real-time, but you type commands to control the drones.

      Because while exploring derelic ships (the major part of the game), you control your drones remotely, via commands that you type into the console.

      Does not at all appear to be a game you run in the console. The first video on the Steam page does include a lot of stylized Hacknet-ish looking text.

    Damn windows only - not on mac. I really loved the first one. Hope they port it to mac eventually.

    What caused the end of the world then?

    I guess I might try again with the game, but asking here I could get moderate spoilers without a complete spoiler.

    Wow! I would not have expected to hear about this game again. The first game was a lot of fun, definitely room to flesh out the game play loop but had great ideas.

    Duskers is a very cool game. It's very difficult and stressful, so it's easy to bounce off of; but the concept and execution are top notch.

        I just installed Steam on Ubuntu yesterday, and I'm impressed at the progress so far. A HUGE number of titles run flawlessly.
