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.
Tricks of Gods and Ghosts is a female-oriented pixel rpg game set in a hollow female background. In the game, you will play the role of Zhen Wu Si's Tiqi to move freely in the Jianghu and the imperial court. The sea of bureaucracy is full of changes. The fate of the world is yours to decide.
Welcome to Nan Sheng, an ancient matriarchal fantasy land teeming with gods, demons, and occasional modern marvels brought in by mysterious travelers. In this whimsical world, you’ll step into the shoes of a Tiqi (elite enforcer) under the Zhenwu Bureau, bearing the Moon Emperor’s secret decree to quell rising unrest among martial artists.
Your destiny is yours to shape. Will you exploit your authority to spark turmoil and seize power? Or pursue a path of peace, protecting the innocent? Perhaps you’ll claim the Mandate of Heaven itself. Embrace the chaos in this lighthearted RPG, where comedic madness and dramatic showdowns collide!
-Female-Dominant Setting
Nan Sheng’s societal structure places women at the highest tiers of power. This alternate reality flips conventional historical norms on their head—expect surprises around every corner.
-Male Pregnancy” & Black-Box Biology
True to its unconventional world, men can bear children in Nan Sheng. How? That’s part of the fantasy! There is no explicit discussion of anatomy—it’s left intentionally vague for comedic effect and player interpretation.
Roam the martial realm, infiltrate political circles, or become a defender of the people. Your actions will influence shifting allegiances—from sworn enemies to star-crossed allies.
-Fishing for Fun
Encounter 80+ distinct fish across freshwater, saltwater, magma pools, and icy lakes. Some fish can be sold, some are edible, and some are quest items. Plus, you might stumble upon random events or NPC interactions while fishing!
There will be three types of seeds in the game. These are regular seeds from the store, exotic seeds sold by foxes, and fantasy seeds.
Players watering certain fantasy plants will trigger some random plot. For example, a certain poisonous flower may cause you to fall into a brief hallucination when watering it.
-Light COC-Style Skill Checks
Rely on dice rolls for certain actions—like using the Listen skill to eavesdrop on gossip. Most scenarios hinge on simple success or failure, though a handful may lead to spectacular triumphs or disasters.
-Straightforward Combat
You start with decent strength. Switch weapons for melee attacks, summon a mechanical hawk, or toss landmines—simple controls ensure easy-to-learn battles that still pack a punch.
-Diverse Relationships
Forge unique bonds with multiple romance options including both male and female characters (and occasionally more unusual genders, too). Pursue pure love, gather a grand harem, or wage a thrilling love-hate rivalry. Each character has their own moral code and might even oppose you—choose wisely.
Important Disclaimer
This game is all-ages with no explicit content, despite the unconventional themes.
All main characters are 18+ to avoid any misunderstandings about age.
The focus is on humor, drama, and storytelling over realism or explicit depictions.
Additional Considerations
Matriarchal Context
Nan Sheng is a woman-led society, which may differ from typical historical or fantasy settings. Expect role reversals in power dynamics, social norms, and cultural expectations.
Fantasy “Male Pregnancy”
While the game includes a “male pregnancy” mechanic, it remains purely fantastical and comedic. We leave it intentionally vague (“black box biology”)—there’s no graphic or detailed depiction.
All-Characters-Are-Adults
In many regions, an “18+” label implies adult content. Here, it simply means every character is legally an adult; the story itself contains no explicit sexual scenes.
Comedic & Lighthearted
Expect a blend of comedic anachronisms, over-the-top plot twists, and dramatic flair. It is not a historically accurate simulation but rather a fantastical, melodramatic escapade.
Romance Variety
You can romance both male and female characters, alongside the possibility of more unconventional genders. Relationships may remain platonic, turn into devoted one-on-one romance, or veer into dramatic harems and rivalries.
Solo Developer
This entire project is created and managed by one person. Please understand that updates and replies to community questions may take time. We appreciate your patience and feedback!
Embrace the absurd and dive into this blend of martial intrigue, comedic chaos, and “dog-blood” drama. Tricks of Gods and Ghosts invites you to craft your own legend in a land where anything can happen—and probably will!
