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.
A surreal interactive experience exploring dementia through FMV storytelling. Navigate a fading mind, make choices that shape reality, and uncover multiple endings in this emotional and psychological descent into memory loss.
The Empty House – An Interactive Experience About Dementia
The Empty House is a deeply emotional and surreal interactive narrative experience that takes you inside the unraveling mind of a woman suffering from advanced dementia. As reality crumbles around her, time loops, memories distort, and once-familiar places become eerie and unrecognizable.
This is not a traditional puzzle or action game. Instead, it is an experiment in perception, a descent into forgetting, and an exploration of what it means to lose oneself. Through cinematic storytelling and full-motion video (FMV), you will experience the world through her fractured mind—where choices, no matter how small, can reshape her fading reality.
Your journey begins with the Light Path, a more reflective and emotional exploration of memory loss, filled with moments of nostalgia and heartbreak.
In "Shadows of The Empty House", reality becomes a nightmare. This alternate version of the story is deeply unsettling, full of psychological horror and existential dread. Shadows stretch unnaturally, familiar faces become faceless specters, and time itself bends in ways you can’t understand.
The choices you make determine whether you will find solace in the memories that remain—or become lost in the terrifying void of forgetfulness.
🔹 Over 1.5 Hours of Interactive Video – A rich, cinematic experience with real actors and filmed sequences.
🔹 Multiple Paths & Secret Endings – With over 10 different endings, every choice matters. Some are hidden… waiting to be discovered.
🔹 Psychological Horror Without Jumpscares – The true fear here is existential, built on loss, confusion, and the slow erosion of identity.
🔹 Minimalist & Atmospheric Gameplay – No complex mechanics—just pure, immersive storytelling.
🔹 A Story That Changes With You – No two playthroughs are the same. Your actions shape the narrative.
The Empty House is more than just an interactive story—it’s a way to make a difference. A portion of the proceeds from this project will be donated to organizations dedicated to dementia and Alzheimer’s research, funding both patient support and the search for a cure.
By playing, you are not just exploring a fading mind—you are helping those who live this reality every day.
There is no single way to experience The Empty House. Each choice alters the journey in ways both subtle and profound. Some decisions will bring clarity. Others will deepen the confusion.
Will you fight to hold on to reality? Or will you surrender to the abyss of forgetting?
Every playthrough is a new experience. Every ending is a reflection of your choices.
