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.
"8AM: The Shopping Mall" is a suspense game set in an empty mall after closing. Watch through security cameras as strange movements unfold and decide if it’s a glitch, exhaustion, or something sinister until 8:00 a.m.
"8AM: The Shopping Mall" traps the player inside a vast and desolate mall, long after closing time. The neon signs have gone dark, the shutters are down, and only the echo of your footsteps drifts through the empty corridors. Security cameras hum quietly, capturing what little movement remains within — mannequins, flickering lights, and something else that shouldn’t be there.
You sit in the surveillance booth, surrounded by screens that reveal the mall’s deserted interior: the food court frozen in silence, the escalators still running though no one rides them, the reflection of a figure that disappears when you turn the camera. Your duty is simple — observe, record, and report. But as the night deepens, the routine shifts into something far more unsettling.
Shadows linger behind storefronts, shapes move between aisles where no one should be, and the soft music of the PA system begins to distort into whispers. Security alerts trigger without reason. Some cameras show footage from minutes ago — or from a future that hasn’t happened yet.
You start to notice patterns. The mannequins seem to have changed position. A figure keeps walking past the same camera at the same time, over and over again. Are these glitches in the system, tricks of exhaustion — or is something inside the mall refusing to stay still?
Your task remains the same: decide what is real. Each moment tests your judgment and your sanity as you try to distinguish between malfunction and malevolence. You cannot leave the booth. You can only watch, and decide what the system will record as truth.
As dawn nears, the mall grows silent once more — but the cameras continue to roll. And just before 8:00 a.m., one of the monitors shows something impossible: someone sitting exactly where you are, staring back at you.
"8AM: The Shopping Mall" is a psychological surveillance mystery about routine, isolation, and the fear of the ordinary turning strange. In the lifeless corridors of consumerism, it challenges you to question not just what you see — but why you’re the one watching.
