Package Information

Description./play.it collection - Adventure games

play.it is a free software building native packages from installers for Windows or Linux, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free games distribution. The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is indistinguishable from a game installed via the official repositories of your favourite distribution.

This specific collection includes only action games. These games challenge the player dexterity, providing obstacles requiring reflexes and coordination to overcome. This is a broad genre that spans from shooters to rhythm games. Platform games are excluded, as they already get their own dedicated collection.
