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 contemplative narrative horror experience. Purify cursed objects through rhythmic prayers. Your Faith protects you, your Guilt consumes you. 50 objects will unveil the truth hidden behind the abbey's walls. In the darkness of the Middle Ages, will you find redemption or damnation?

You are Elías, a monk whose mentor, Severinus, has died under strange circumstances. Guided by his master's voice from beyond, Elías discovers that the Abbey is a façade for a secret society perpetuating an ancient dark sacrifice, hidden beneath false Christian vows.
Your path is an introspective pilgrimage through seven phases based on the Canonical Hours (Matins, Lauds, etc.), which will lead you closer to a truth so devastating that it will force you to confront your own destiny.
Penance is a 2D atmospheric exploration adventure with a deliberately slow-paced and contemplative rhythm.
Gameplay centers on the constant dilemma of Guilt and Faith, represented in two interconnected bars that define your moral and spiritual state.
Elias' Staff: Your staff is an extension of your soul. It detects areas contaminated by Guilt that, if not purified, will physically block your passage.
Purification and Rhythm: You must concentrate your Faith through prayer to absorb the Guilt that emanates from objects, cleansing your path and allowing you to advance. This purification is performed using a rhythm system: press the prayer key at the exact moment when the guilt circles shrink toward your staff to achieve a "Perfect" or "Good" hit and purify the path.
Specters and Shield: The silence is broken by the ghosts of the sacrificed. These ethereal presences will interfere with your prayer and physically push you, forcing you to manage your Faith and Guilt while surviving the Abbey. Use the Protective Shield to repel nearby specters with an expansive pulse from your staff , adding a layer of tactical defense that consumes Faith.
The Abbey's hidden history is revealed piece by piece through 50 Objects of Mystery. Each collected object is associated with a symbolic concept (such as Fragility, Memory, or Mystery).
Your journey will reveal that you were raised for a specific purpose assigned by the abbey's brothers. Your pilgrimage culminates in a final choice: your balance between Faith and Guilt will determine not only your fate, but that of all humanity.
Contemplative Narrative Horror: A story-driven experience where prayer and atmosphere prevail over action
Rhythm and Concentration: Purify Guilt with a challenging rhythm system featuring precise timing windows ("Perfect", "Good") , where a miss interrupts your concentration and stops the prayer.
Tactical Shield Defense: Gain a reprieve from Specters by activating the Protective Shield, an expansive pulse that repels nearby threats at the cost of Faith.
Specters with Unique Behaviors: Face different types of spectral threats, each with distinct movement patterns and interference strategies.
Dual Survival Resource: Balance the Guilt and Faith bars, using your staff to purify contaminated objects and advance your path.
Unique and Structured Narrative: Unravel the plot through 7 Phases based on the Canonical Hours and 50 Mystery Objects that reveal the abbey's hidden truth.
Complete Experience: A two-hour story that culminates in a
Deep Auditory Immersion: An original soundtrack and meticulous atmospheric sound design, where every creak and whisper intensifies the feeling of being on the verge of a revelation.
