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.

Despondent is a first-person survival horror title. Play as Sedgewick, a young man tossed into a hellish fight for his life while trying to pick up the pieces of his past. Manage a debilitating sickness, hold on to what little hope is left, uncover a rancid plot and just maybe... make it out alive.

In a world where the supernatural and paranormal are known to exist, they are administered by the Department of Supernatural Intelligence, a body of government put in place to protect the balance. After the D.S.I. pulls resources out of solving a mass disappearance, you as Sedgewick must go it alone and seek the truth about the goings-on inside ground zero.

HARGRAVE

Once a beautiful and docile place, has turned into a hellish prison for those who disappeared. Make your way through various locales inside Hargrave, from a derelict farmstead to a god-forsaken factory, do whatever it takes to find answers for all those missing people. Will you clasp on to enough hope to escape? Or stay forever ensnared inside Hargrave's rotten mouth...

THE WREAKS

Sedgewick contracts a deadly sickness in which you must manage with medication throughout the journey. If left too long without temporary treatment, symptoms will begin to slow you down and make it difficult to outrun or fight those who want you dead. Symptoms will worsen while progressing, making it more and more difficult to stay alive without medication. Do what you can to stay off the sickness during your fight through Hargrave.

RUN OR FIGHT

Sedgewick is an agent of the D.S.I. and has both knowledge and training on how to deal with the supernatural and paranormal accordingly. Use a selection of weapons to defend yourself against the horrors that lurk within. However some enemies you face will be invulnerable to your arsenal, in times like this it is in your best interest to run like hell.

THE SUPERNATURAL & PARANORMAL

There is an abundance of creatures roaming the darkness. From different types of spirits to sea dwelling cryptids, keep track of them in Sed's compendium, which will update with every new creature you lay eyes on, after all... it is important to know which ones will tear you limb from limb without a moments thought. But be ready to lay witness to heinous life-forms nobody has ever seen, in places so truly void of hope... you will forever be Despondent.

OLD-SCHOOL GRAPHICS

Despondent is heavily inspired by games from the late 2000's/early 2010's. It mixes detailed environments and characters with 2D sprites that are implemented as foliage, draw clutter, food etc. It is also paired with some retro post-processing like heavy film grain, bright colours and an overly sharp image. These elements all lovingly come together to create a nostalgic aesthetic that will bring you right back to the good ol' days!
