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.

Rise of the Village Hero is a love letter to classic RPGs, blending nostalgia with charm and humor. Explore diverse levels, tackle quirky and heartfelt quests, and trade witty banter with memorable, NPCs. Collect, trade, and upgrade gear, slay monsters, and become the hero of Dobroja!

Story

Rise of the Village Hero is a lighthearted indie RPG set in the charming Kingdom of Dobroja. Play as Guy, a hunter who returns home to find his village, Warlington, under attack by orcs and goblins. Fight to protect your home, uncover the cause of the chaos, and restore peace by exploring diverse lands, interacting with factions, and completing quests. Discover treasures, brave dungeons, and become the hero Dobroja needs!

Difficulty

Rise of the Village Hero offers a fair challenge. You start as a hunter facing an orc army — a fight you’re not yet prepared for. The game has a learning curve, so use health and stamina potions wisely, upgrade gear when you can, and avoid rushing into large enemy groups. Save often, as the game features permanent death, and use the quick save function to avoid losing progress. Movement is click-to-move, and the camera may take some getting used to — you’ll sometimes need to scroll up or zoom in to navigate around high obstacles.

Features of my game:

Combat:

Combat is simple but enjoyable, combining melee and ranged attacks with a few useful abilities.

Players have mentioned how satisfying it is to fight monsters like orcs, skeletons, and ghosts, with the added challenge of permadeath making every encounter feel more tense and rewarding.

Abilities

Combat Ability: Whirlwind Pirouette
Unlocked after the first tutorial quest, this skill deals damage to nearby enemies. It can be upgraded to level 5 by purchasing from shops and is best used when surrounded. Equip it via the quick action bar.

Healing ability: Healing chant 

Use the Healing Chant to recover health. It consumes stamina and has a cooldown. Upgradeable to level 10, it can be purchased from shops, earned as a quest reward, or found in the world, offering players different ways to heal.

Dialogues, quests and leveling up:

NPC interactions are lighthearted, funny, and sassy, adding charm to the game, with serious moments for balance. The story is enriched through quests, dialogue, and the main theme of protecting your home and country.

Inventory management and shops:

Find a variety of loot throughout the world—dropped by enemies, hidden spots, or quest rewards. Manage your inventory with health potions, gear, and weapons. Sell surplus items to buy better equipment and gain the edge in your struggle.

Exploring Interiors:
