(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It's on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.

Disco Elysium hands-down. Has a brilliant story with a bunch of branches, it's a great way to kill 20+ hours.

A shorter experience but one still pretty fun is Thank Goodness You're Here which is a comedy with brilliant voice acting and setting. 2.5hrs ish.

I love the fact that even "failed" skill checks lead to interesting stories, and how having some skills "too high" starts leading down dark alleyways too.

My fiance and I both played it, and wound up with radically different stories.

My first death was from an uncomfortable chair.

Thank Goodness You’re Here

Just by the name and you mentioning it's a comedy, I suspect it's a nod to the TV show Thank God You're Here (or more likely the British version), where performers such as comedians enter a surprise setting and must improvise.
