This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.
1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."
Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.
Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.
2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.
3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.
4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.
THIEF’S SHELTER is a 3D Point and Click Psychological Adventure where the world mirrors a crumbling mind. Nothing stays still, and even your own thoughts can’t be trusted.
THIEF’S SHELTER is a psychological adventure where the world mirrors a crumbling mind. Nothing stays still, and even your own thoughts can’t be trusted.
THIEF'S SHELTER unearths buried trauma, twisted ambitions, and the inhuman forces pulling the strings behind it all. Your investigation is intertwined with Detective James' personal struggles, such as the artificial dementia along with its effects.
You will fight James’ deteriorating mental state, experience hallucinations, and confront his repressed memories. Explore Highburn Mansion that distorts as you progress, search for clues and use investigative tools to reveal secrets hidden in plain sight. The deeper you dig, the less you know what’s real. Is there a supernatural presence inside the mansion — or is it all in your head?
Birmingham, England. Corruption within the English police force, along with the rampant activity of street gangs constantly disrupts the entire nation. The Red Order, once renowned as an anti-crime organisation dating back centuries, now prospers in England as the dominant provider of health products. However, beneath this façade lies a sinister secret.
After his relocation to Birmingham, Detective James is summoned to aid the investigation of a curious homicide on Highburn Street. Despite the impact of his artificial dementia, and being haunted by a demon, James dives deep into an investigation that ultimately makes his condition deteriorate.
Highburn Mansion changes as your investigation progresses. As you push forward, old hallways lead to new places, doors bleed through walls, and whole rooms slide into view.
This place doesn’t want you here. It will assault your senses, show you things that shouldn’t exist. Dredge up memories you tried so hard to bury. Wallpaper peels like skin. Bodies flicker above the table. Do you feel someone watching?
Certain discoveries don’t surface the first time.
Or the second.
Not everything in THIEF'S SHELTER will reveal itself in one playthrough. VHS tapes, Masks, Red Order conspiracies, James’ past, and other events can be missed on your first try.
James records new findings in his Memoir, with important evidence logged under Investigation Notes. Memoir will give you a glimpse into James’ mental state, helping you understand his feelings and motivations. James’ writing changes through the game, reflecting his worsening condition. Investigation Notes are there to be referenced when solving a puzzle or tracking down a clue.
Puzzles in THIEF'S SHELTER reward observation and deduction, not guesswork. To reach the end, you will have to recover four key artifacts tied to the mansion. You’ll solve multi-stage mechanical contraption, decode cryptic symbols, and unlock rooms that shouldn’t exist and much more.
Utilise tools like the flashlight and the digital camera to reveal secrets hidden in plain sight. Shine your UV light to uncover invisible markings, footprints, and bloodstains that lead to new clues. Use your camera to peek into hidden layers of the mansion, exposing things the eye can’t see.
Every clue matters — and some only show themselves once. Overlook a detail, and it may never return.
THIEF'S SHELTER adapts to what YOU discover. Some journal entries never appear. Certain scenes never happen. Memory is fragile and so is the truth.
Following the main path will get you to the end. But it won’t give you the full picture. To truly enrich your knowledge of this universe, you must break away, explore, experiment. What you uncover reflects your perception. What you miss defines your version of the truth.
There are no second chances. Stay sharp.
THIEF'S SHELTER modernizes the point-and-click genre made popular by Myst. This is a cinematic experience with smooth movement and rich, highly detailed 3D environments.
Navigation flows naturally. No aimless backtracking. Optional hints and smart waypoint filtering keep you immersed in the mystery.
