Guide: Installing The Protagonist 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 The Protagonist? Features and Description

A psychological horror adventure set in the frozen aftermath of a dead sun. Explore buried memories, search your lost daughter, and descend into a world where guilt speaks louder than truth.

THE PROTAGONIST

A haunting journey through memory, silence, and the frozen echoes of a broken world.

Centuries after the collapse of the sun, Earth lies in eternal darkness.
In this world without light, where silence feels alive and shadows remember your name, The Protagonist invites you into a deeply emotional, narrative-driven psychological experience.

You play as Varon Ormir, a lost soul following a mysterious signal through the frozen ruins of the underground — and through the memories of a daughter he thought long gone.

Gameplay & Experience

A story of grief, memory, and redemption
Immerse yourself in a slow-burning emotional journey told through fragmented memories, symbolic environments, and haunting voice performances.
Every step draws you closer to a truth you may not want to face.

Exploration over combat
There are no weapons, no battles — only exploration, atmosphere, and discovery. Navigate surreal spaces where the world itself reflects the protagonist’s inner descent.

Story & Setting

Six centuries after Stillwake — the event that extinguished the sun — humanity clings to life deep beneath the ice.
The underground colonies are divided by belief and isolation, while the surface above remains silent and forgotten.

When a faint radio signal speaks with the voice of his daughter, Varon descends into a labyrinth of ice, faith, and memory — where the line between life and death slowly dissolves.

What Makes It Unique

  • Emotionally powerful narrative — told through atmospheric exploration and evocative voice acting.

  • No combat, no distractions — focus entirely on story, emotion, and discovery.

  • Rich soundscape — an original score that shifts between beauty and despair, guiding every step.

  • Symbolic and surreal environments — explore a world shaped by guilt, memory, and hope.

Playtime

A 2-hour focused experience — designed to be played in one immersive sitting.

Sound & Performance

  • Original soundtrack — haunting, minimal, and deeply emotional.

  • Voice acting that captures grief, longing, and fragile hope.

Core Themes

  • Memory & Loss — echoes of a past that refuses to fade.

  • Guilt & Forgiveness — the fragile path toward redemption.

  • Silence & Isolation — the sacred quiet of a dying world.

  • Hope in the Dark — a single light that refuses to go out.
