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.
You are the newest member of a forest cult. Complete assigned rituals, obey their rules, and uncover the forest’s unsettling secrets. Every step is watched.
The Forest Watches is a short first-person psychological horror experience about rituals, obedience, and being observed.
You arrive at a secluded forest compound as the newest member of a quiet, watchful cult. Your days are simple: complete the tasks they give you, follow the routine, and avoid drawing attention. The game is designed to be completed in around 30 minutes, making it a compact, tense horror experience.
Each morning brings a new assignment—clean the shrine, gather offerings, light the ceremonial braziers. The cult insists these chores are harmless traditions… but the forest feels aware, and the cameras never stop tracking your every step.
Your cabin is small and sparsely furnished—a bed, a flickering TV looping indoctrination messages, a few personal items. Even in this tiny space, you can feel the weight of the forest and the cult’s watchful eyes.
As you carry out your rituals, distant chanting rises through the trees. The tasks become heavier, stranger, more demanding—yet disobedience is not an option.
The Forest Watches is designed as an immersive, tightly focused horror experience that can be completed in about 30 minutes. No crafting. No combat. Just you, the cult, and the feeling that the forest remembers everything you do.
• Ritual Tasks That Escalate
Perform daily duties for the cult: gather offerings, tend to the shrine, light ritual fires, and obey the routine.
• Oppressive Forest Atmosphere
A dense woodland filled with shrines, cameras, and ritual sites that feel increasingly alive as the days pass.
• Psychological Horror Through Observation
Fear built through surveillance, ritual pressure, and the sense that the forest itself is watching you.
• Short, Focused Experience
A concise 30-minute narrative horror journey designed for a single sitting.
All voice lines in the indoctrination video (also used in the trailer) are generated using AI.
Content Warning: This is a psychological horror experience. It contains mild violence, creepy ritual themes, and unsettling imagery.
