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 sci-fi roguelike where you descend 17 procedurally generated levels into a hollow asteroid. Battle aliens, collect futuristic weapons and nanotech, manage hunger and permadeath. Fast, minimal, turn-based combat inspired by the original Rogue.

You discover a hollow asteroid filled with procedurally generated mines, facilities, alien creatures, and space-loot.

Asterogue is a fast, minimal roguelike directly inspired by the original Rogue. Descend through 17 unique levels into the heart of an asteroid to find the Cursed Orb and save the galaxy. Balance futuristic hand weapons, armour, chemicals, nanotech, medkits and food as you battle increasingly dangerous aliens from outer space.

WHAT MAKES ASTEROGUE DIFFERENT

Asterogue is a traditional roguelike, not a roguelite. It focuses on the core loop that made Rogue great: explore, fight, loot, die, learn, repeat. No meta-progression, no permanent upgrades between runs - just pure skill and knowledge.

The game is deliberately minimal. You won't find kitchen-sink complexity here. Instead, Asterogue offers carefully tuned mechanics with juicy animations and game-feel that make every action satisfying.

STORY

One thousand years of peace have ended. You lost everything in The Great War. An old man in a dive bar tells of ancient aliens who returned to drain all goodness from the galaxy into their Cursed Orb. He sketches a map on a napkin and vanishes. Days later, you crash-land on an asteroid. Faced with death on the surface or the unknown within, you descend into the heart of the asteroid...

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Asterogue is a solo indie game made by a developer who grew up on Nethack and Rogue. It was built over 10 weeks as a love letter to the roguelike genre, focusing on what makes these games timeless: procedural generation, meaningful choices, and the thrill of permadeath.

“Super clean and streamlined Sci-fi roguelike without all the cryptic baggage. Definitely a hidden gem that I hope gets more exposure.”
5/5 – Google Play Store

“The hunger mechanics are well-balanced, and the inventory management (you can only carry 6 pieces of equipment) is a hit. You have to be very resourceful”
5/5 – Google Play Store

“Love the scifi roguelike so rare to find one!”
