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.
Abide by three rules. 1. Never remove your blindfold. 2. Don't let Ashioto catch up to you. 3. Collect all five talisman. Cover your eyes, trust your ears, and...Cling to Blindness.
Have you ever played a game without any visuals and just sound alone? And on top of that what if you had to wear a blindfold while playing it?
Cling to Blindness is a horror game played entirely by sound, requiring you to navigate the world blindfolded.
The playtime is roughly 1 to 1.5 hours, and the level of fear is relatively low and is accessible even for those who don't usually enjoy horror games.
There are no jump scares, only immersive tension built through sound and imagination.
How to Play
Cling to Blindness is a horror audio game where you must rely solely on audio cues to complete a ritual. In this ritual, being blindfolded is a must and not just a suggestion. Playing with headphones is strongly recommended for the full experience.
Navigate with Your Mouse
Use your mouse to progress through the game. Moving it left and right changes your perspective and will help you locate where sounds are coming from. Left-click to step forward.
Follow the Sounds
Once Ashioto catches up to you, it's game over... Rely on sound to navigate and achieve your goal. Instead of visuals, you'll have to depend on a variety of audio cues to help guide you through the darkness.
There are no sudden jump scares as this is a sound-driven horror experience designed to be playable even for those who aren't a fan of traditional horror games.
However, if you begin to feel unwell, we recommend you stop playing the game immediately.

1. Never take off your blindfold.
2. Do not let Ashioto catch up to you.
3. Collect all five talismans.
You play as Satsuki, a girl who travels to the ruins of an abandoned village to perform a ritual.
Listen carefully.
If you hear footsteps... that means Ashioto is near.
Never, ever let them catch you.
Use the sound of wind chimes to locate the talismans.
Your hearing becomes your vision as nothing will be shown on the screen.
So do not remove your blindfold—
not until it’s time for it to be taken off.
Approximately 1 to 1.5 hours

While Cling to Blindness features minimal horror imagery and avoids traditional jumpscares, a special "Penguin Mode" has been included to make the game more approachable for players sensitive to fear. In this mode, players can press "P" to change modes and toggle Penguin Mode. When in Penguin Mode, Ashioto's footsteps are replaced by the gentle, endearing sounds of a penguin walking.
Players who find horror games intimidating can still enjoy Cling to Blindness and we encourage them to try out the Penguin Mode setting for a more lighthearted experience.
