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.
The Binding Hour is a first-person psychological horror game set in a forgotten house lost deep in the woods. Explore shifting spaces, confront haunting echoes, and uncover a truth that refuses to stay buried. Every hour binds you tighter—will you break the loop, or become part of it?
The Binding Hour is a short, psychological horror experience set within a decaying, long-forgotten house deep in the woods. You step into the role of an unnamed intruder drawn to the property by forces beyond understanding. As the hours pass, the once-abandoned rooms begin to shift and change, revealing twisted memories and buried secrets. The Binding Hour uses oppressive atmosphere, distorted reality, and narrative-driven gameplay to weave a chilling tale of entrapment. Each hour that ticks by tightens the hold on you—will you find a way to break free, or become just another echo in the walls?
Gameplay:
After his car breaks down deep within a remote forest, a lone stranger searches for shelter and stumbles upon an abandoned house hidden in the trees. Desperate and cold, he breaks inside—only to awaken something ancient and malicious.
Once within, he finds himself trapped in an endless, shifting nightmare, where the house itself warps and bends reality around him. To escape the tightening grip of the house, he must explore its decaying halls, uncover its buried secrets, and confront the dark truths that bind him.
Every step forward reveals twisted memories, hidden relics, and clues to the origins of the curse. Solve environmental puzzles, piece together the fragments of a forgotten tragedy, and resist the house's influence before you are consumed entirely.
Key Features:
Psychological Horror: A deeply unsettling atmosphere where fear grows through tension, isolation, and the slow unraveling of reality.
Narrative-Focused: A sharp, one-hour horror experience that delivers a powerful story without filler or distractions.
Shifting Spaces: Navigate a house that subtly—and sometimes violently—reshapes itself, reflecting the descent into madness.
Hidden Truths: Search for clues, solve environmental mysteries, and uncover the chilling past that refuses to stay buried.
