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.

Thistlemine is a puzzle RPG that tells a story about the work that takes place within an Anomalis Exclusion Zone – a hostile environment where space and time are warped, and the thick miasma suffocates those trapped within.

ABOUT THE GAME

Thistlemine is a puzzle exploration RPG. You play as Noa, a low-ranking excavator, whose task is to navigate and clear out an Exclusion Zone.

The Miasma emitting from the Exclusion Zone is causing distortions in time and space, while simultaneously suffocating and mutating what little life remains in the region. Rumours of a powerful artifact have attracted many souls to its location. Not one has returned.

Inside the Exclusion Zone awaits a massive garden labyrinth, the mutated remains of those who have come before, and the guardian Anomalis who've made the land their home.

Noa is outnumbered and ill-equipped for the task, and the conditions for survival are unfair. Armed with the ability to repeat short windows of time, only through patience, persistence, and planning will she find a glimpse of victory.

THE EXCLUSION ZONE

Inside the Exclusion Zone is a number of disorienting and deceptive puzzles. There is a total of 7 major areas, each with many secrets to discover, and various combat encounters to overcome.

Depending on decisions made, resources used, or curiosity in solving areas in different ways, small variations may present themselves. These variations range from greater challenges, extra resources, additional story details, or knowledge of more efficient routes throughout the garden.

THE EXCAVATORS

As you navigate the Exclusion Zone, you will find members of the Excavation Corps. As they've spent too much time exposed to the Miasma, most of them are on the verge of death, or mutated beyond saving. However, some are still willing to help until their last breath.

Potential allies can be recruited into the party, or killed where they stand. The choice is yours.

THE ANOMALIS

Exclusion Zones are home to Miasma lifeforms known as Anomalis. They've taken the likeness of plants and flowers in this region.

During combat, Anomalis produce varying amounts of Miasma, limiting the amount of turns you have in any given battle. Combined with a diverse arsenal of lethal abilities and overwhelming numbers, defeating them is no easy task. There are over 40 unique encounters, many with multiple phases and subroute variations, all demanding a different strategy from the last.

THE ARTIFACTS

Defeating enemies will sometimes reward Artifacts. Artifacts provide anything from powerful buffs, permanent stat bonuses, new skills, or an active ability.

The stronger Anomalis specifically reward unique artifacts necessary to conquer the Exclusion Zone. These are complex in both function and in application, providing new combat strategies, skill synergies, and attack strings. Figuring out how to use them in each battle can feel like a puzzle in itself, especially in combination with various turn limits and different enemy groups.

ADDITIONAL MODES

Thistlemine comes with 3 modes: Standard Mode, Regimental Mode, and the Temporal Rift.

Standard Mode is the normal gameplay experience. Checkpoints are plenty, dialogue and choices are enabled, there are minimal consequence for losing, and you can progress at your own pace.

Regimental Mode serves as a time attack variation to Thistlemine's gameplay, encouraging strategies and routes to save both turns and time, with a limit of 2 hours to clear the game. Some adjustments have been made to save as many frames as possible. Though completely optional, it is the canonical Thistlemine experience.

The Temporal Rift is equivalent to a dev room. It is unlocked by default. Players can use it to experiment with various mechanics and to further optimize their routes. This mode will feature additional challenges and cut content in future updates.
