• The year of Linux will never happen!
• Using flatpaks is the wrong way, only Appimages should exist

So the sequel doesn’t scratch the itch, how about Finnish Cottage Simulator it has actually a similar vibe but less focused on cars.

Or some dynastie games like Sengoku Dynasty, Lumberjacks Dynasty, Medieval Dynasty, Wild West Legacy.

Or from your description “unforgivable near hateful to the player but rewarding” you literally describe Dark Souls or souls like games how about Sekiro

Or some hard 2d platformer like Celeste combined with the aboth suggestion you can also try Hollow Knight or Rain World

My Winter Car its the sequel
