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.

A short and sweet escape room style puzzle game about using alchemy ingredients and brainpower to repair the alchemist's broken machinery!

A Favor For The Alchemist is a short. escape room style puzzle game where you play as the apprentice to an alchemist. The alchemist's material condenser isn't working quite right, so they've tasked you with figuring out how to get it working again. Through exploring the room, deciphering the alchemist's notes, examining EVERYTHING closely, math, and some brainpower, you'll get the machine back up and running in no time!

This game includes:

• Eight puzzles to solve within the room

• Mixing alchemy ingredients to draw out their effects

• A quiet, sunset environment to relax and puzzle-solve to

• No time limits (except for an achievement)

• No AI generated assets

Interacting with the environment is done entirely through left and right mouse clicks, so the focus is on what needs to be interacted with rather than how.

Inspired by games like Myst, figuring out how the mechanisms around you work is as much a part of the puzzle as the puzzle itself.

This game was originally created for the Inbound Shovel game jam 2025, this is a refined and polished version created for a full release.
