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.
Withering Horrors is an open-world horror game. You can play alone or with up to 4 people in multiplayer. Explore the beautiful landscapes and biomes, but remember to always check if something is behind you...
You find yourself trapped in a dying world fractured into three different biomes. You must fight not only to survive, but to uncover the hidden stories left behind.
From Frozen wastelands and pitch-black forests to sandworm-infested dunes—each biome is alive, hostile and watching you all along.
But Something Is Hunting you...
Monsters chase and stalk you without rest. They listen. They adapt. And they remember. The deeper you explore, the more you start becoming prey.

Key features
Dynamic Horror
▪︎ Navigate three unique biomes, each with shifting weather, hostile creatures and layered mysteries.
▪︎ Adapt to pitch-black forests, blinding sandstorms and other punishing conditions that might affect you visibility and survival.
Relentless AI Threats
▪︎ Face creatures that don't follow scripts. They track, stalk and ambush. There is no "safe zone" out in the wild.
▪︎ Sound cues, light and movement matter. Silence is your greatest weapon.
Narrative-driven Exploration
▪︎ Uncover fragments of a forgotten past through environmental storytelling, hidden signs and mysterious hints.
▪︎ Multiple layers of lore and experiences encourage replayability.

Minimal UI. Maximum Tension
▪︎ No objective markers. No hand-holding. All you have is what you find and your own intuition.
▪︎ Immersion-focused design ensures you're always in the world, not above it.
Horror That Evolves
▪︎ The more you survive, the worse it gets. Unpredictable enemy behaviour and quick environmental changes keep you guessing.
