OpenGl wins great over DirectX11 in terms of portability and customizations.

I love this game, the expansion I loved even more! No weapon for defense, nowhere to hide, just RUN and don't look back!:D One fair warning for any potential buyers who are easily scared, this could turn out hazardous for your human health. A friend of mine who played it physically hurt himself by going so tense he had a sore side for weeks thereafter. And with all the custom stories to keep you busy this is the best PC game of 2010 IMO even tho some glitches and bugs were breaking the atmosphere from time to time. I say, Best horror game EVER (since Penumbra of course) on Linux.

Ah, so it's OpenGL, nice. Always liked OpenGL, more advanced than even DirectX11, but highly under-used and unoptimized with new graphics cards, so it never lives up to it's full potential.
