Guide: Installing COTS on Linux with Steam Proton

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.

What is COTS? Features and Description

Step into a chicken-themed tower-defense roguelike where you build and upgrade your coop, think up strategies during the day, and hope to survive when night falls. Wild predators lurk in the dark, ready to tear down your defenses! COTS is action, strategy, collectible cards…and of course, CHICKENS!

COTS is a game about strategy. It’s a fun tower defense roguelike where chickens are the protagonists of their own story, and have to fight to defend their territory. But these are no ordinary chickens : they are Cots, chickens with unique abilities!

Each day, earn some new cards to upgrade and defend your coop: Your goal is to survive for as many nights as possible against waves of wild predators invading your land. To succeed, think up strategies using your Cots, eggs, buildings, traps, obstacles, and spells to repel the nighttime assaults!

Story

Since the tragic death of King Roosterico, the Protector of the coop, the cots have taken their destiny into their own wings, determined to defend their home and fight against the fierce predators threatening their land!

Cots

Each Cot is unique, with her own role and specific abilities. Upgrade and combine them to strenghten your defense! Your Cots also lay eggs that can be used as currency to purchase new cards and building upgrades.

Boosters

Every day, you will receive a booster containing three random cards from the Cots' goddess, the Golden Cot. But beware... if you play long enough, you may encounter the goddess's rather challenging twin, who will sometimes take her place.

Cards

Strategically use your cards to add traps, place obstacles, construct buildings, cast spells, or set up Cot houses. The more you play, the more new cards you can collect in your Encyclopedia!

Assaults

When night falls, use your Cots and spells wisely to defend your henhouse and buildings from predators. Each Cot will automatically fight and/or support others based on her assigned role.
