                        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.
Real Vampires is a dark and funny folklore adventure where you play as both vampire and folk, exploring real Eastern European legends. Mini-games use inverse mechanics—failure is not the end, but the beginning of a greater understanding. Dig, bite, bake, and uncover the Real Vampires.
Real Vampires is a narrative-driven adventure game that blends dark humor, eerie poetry, and authentic Slavic vampire folklore into a unique interactive experience. Developed by Those Eyes, the Copenhagen-based studio behind the award-winning Cosmic Top Secret, this game invites players to explore real stories of fear, death, and transformation—told through the eyes of both vampire and folk.
Inspired by Dr. Łukasz Kozak’s haunting anthology With Stake and Spade: Vampiric Diversity in Poland, the game breathes (undead) life into real historical accounts of vampirism. Kozak is the protagonist, leading you through chilling tales rooted in local beliefs, from plague burials to devoured shrouds, and be forced to ask: who are the real monsters?
But this isn’t just a walk through the graveyard.
Each level features inverse mechanics that flip traditional gameplay on its head. Progress through failure, question your actions, and see the world from both sides of the stake. Because in Real Vampires, failure is not the end, but the beginning of a greater understanding.
Along the way, you’ll dig, slice, chew, bake, and bleed through surreal mini-games that challenge your assumptions—sometimes literally. Humor and horror go hand-in-hand as you unearth buried truths and encounter undead beings that are frightening, absurd, and oddly relatable.

Dual Perspectives on the stories as both vampire and folk.

Replay levels with original inverse mechanics.

Artwork and animation inspired by Slavic art and Monty Python-style absurdism.

Inspired by real accounts of Slavic folklore, respectfully adapted in collaboration with cultural experts.

A narrative tone that balances dark humor with historical depth.
 
 
A cross-border collaboration with creatives and folklore scholars from Poland and Denmark.
The game is supported by: The Danish Film Institute, The Danish Arts Foundation, Creative Europe & Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
