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.
Elf Controller, the Christmas fates are in your hands! Review the documents, uncover the tricksters, and give gifts only to the deserving. Your decision determines whether a child gets a celebration or just a lump of coal. This is your responsibility and your magic. Merry Christmas!
Your stamp decides everything. Approve — and grant a dream. Deny — and deliver a lesson. Welcome to the "Behavior and Delivery Verification Department," where Christmas miracles begin with bureaucracy.
Santa's magical workshop is not just about cozy ateliers and flying reindeer. It is a giant, perfectly tuned machine, and its heart is our office. And this year, luck has smiled upon you! In the midst of the main holiday rush, you, a simple packer, have been urgently promoted and placed at the most critical station: Junior Elf Controller. Now, in your hands are not just boxes, but destinies.
Your task seems simple: review each child's dossier and decide if they deserve a gift. But inside every folder lies a whole story, and behind every document is a chance to make a fatal mistake. Correct decisions will fill the sleigh with presents and raise your rating. Mistakes, however, will trigger an avalanche of complaints, fines, and could send you back to the assembly line for wind-up mice, demoted to a workshop elf. And if you mess up too much — Santa himself will call you in for an unpleasant talk.
BECOME A CHRISTMAS DETECTIVE
Your desk is your command post. Every morning, a new stack of cases grows on it. You face meticulous but engaging work:
Scrupulous Document Analysis: Each folder contains a whole set: a touching letter from a child with a wish list, an official behavior card (good/bad actions), a registration form for notes, a suspicious "passport", a dreaded naughty list, and the final document with Santa's stamp. Sometimes, additional certificates or angry complaints from neighbors appear.
Detailed Cross-Referencing: Do the name, surname, and age match across all papers? Has this "little angel" slipped into the black list? Does the "goodness level" correspond to the requested gift? Every discrepancy must be found and noted.
A Difficult Ethical Choice: After verification comes the moment of truth. Press one of the buttons and determine the fate:
APPROVE SHIPMENT — give the child a holiday.
SEND CORRECTED VERSION — replace a dangerous or unsuitable gift with a safe alternative.
DENY (COAL) — teach a strict but fair lesson.
DO NOT SEND GIFT — leave without any attention in special cases.
FACE CHALLENGES AND DILEMMAS
The routine of checks will quickly give way to real detective investigations and moral trials:
Forgeries and Deception: Some young schemers will try to outsmart you! Stay vigilant: forged parent signatures, photos that don't match the description, and ingenious attempts to erase themselves from the naughty list.
Situations With No Right Answers: What to do with a child who behaved terribly but sent a sincere letter of remorse? What if a perfect child dreams of a gift strictly forbidden by safety rules (like a live dragon)? Should you send a gift to an address with an obvious error, risking a schedule breakdown?
Increasing Complexity: Each day, there are more documents, the rules become more complicated, and the children more inventive. Will you be able to maintain efficiency when twin look-alikes, secret codes in letters, and contradictory instructions from different elf superiors come into play?
KEY FEATURES:
A unique Christmas setting in the spirit of the cult game "Papers, Please": experience the magic and bureaucracy from within.
Deep and tense document verification gameplay where every detail matters.
A progression system with severe consequences: Your decisions directly affect your rating, salary, and career. Want to decorate your nook with new trinkets or get a promotion? Work flawlessly.
Dozens of unique children's stories, each with its own character, desires, and secrets.
Atmospheric pixel art that conveys both the cozy warmth of the Christmas workshop and the cold severity of the clerk's desk.
A dynamic soundtrack, ranging from calm melodies for methodical checking to tense themes for deadlines and audits.
Merry Christmas, Elf Controller. Remember: you are not just stamping papers. You are weighing actions on invisible scales, deciding what to believe, and distributing the most valuable thing — hope. Can you handle this magic?
