Linux users, please note that there has been an update to the Steam Linux Runtime since Sarawak's launch. If you have opted into the Steam Linux Runtime this seems to have an issue that can cause Sarawak to fail to launch. It affects a number of other games, so it is likely to be resolved before long. In the meantime, please do not opt in to the Steam Linux Runtime.

We are now working on a mobile version of Sarawak for iOS and Android devices. With that update we are planning to expand Sarawak towards the end of the story, and we will bring that to Steam and Itch as a free update.
