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.
If we say the wrong words... WE DIE! This game kills you with your own voices! Online co-op where everyone gets a forbidden word, say it and you kill your friends. Explore spooky dungeons, cast spells and defeat monsters with your voices.
Cursed Companions is a co-op horror game that responds to every word the players say. Every player is cursed with a forbidden word, like “Okay” or “I think”. If anyone says it, the player takes damage.

When you say the right words, you can heal your friends or disarm traps.
"Mommy loves you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... IT'S IN THE BOOK! IT'S IN THE BOOK!" - MichiMochievee
But when you say the wrong words (i.e. "Follow me!") you could wipe out your team.

Dungeons are randomly generated, every run is a brand-new experience.

Over twenty different monsters to encounter and ‘befriend’.
"[The Foul Moth] kinda looks like a Labubu." - QuarterJade.
Watch your mouth! The Foul Moth punishes players who swear.
Roast or get roasted! Shout “Who’s your daddy!” to send the Meatgrinder packing!
Scare The Bride away! Bad pickup lines and awkward confessions are your best defense!

Team up and tackle a variety of co-op modes. Battle bosses in two standalone stages or dive into tougher dungeons in Challenge Mode. Push your limits in Endless Mode to see how long you can survive.

Monsters aren’t the real threat in Traitor Mode; your so-called friends are. It’s a chaotic social deduction mode where Traitors secretly sabotage the mission.
But don’t be too obvious as others can call an ‘Emergency Meeting’ to vote you out!
Unlock unique skins as rewards for your greatest achievements! Kill bosses, survive brutal challenges, or simply get killed in unique circumstances.
“Oh that’s nice… I can be a knight!” - Foolish

Customize your home and let your friends see how cursed your taste really is!
