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 Game of Chaess is "Monty Python meets Tolkien on a Chessboard". Defeat waves of black pieces in this asymmetrical chess game to stop the Lord of Darkness! The rules are simple, but the game gets harder and harder. Only the most fooli- eh fearless players will succeed!

Once upon a time in a square world far, far away a retired White King was enjoying his life... UNTIL THE LORD OF DARKNESS DISTURBS THE PEACE... AGAIN!!


In A Game of Chaess, you embark on a heroic and ridiculous quest to stop the forces of evil for once and for all. Each level throws a new wave of Black chess pieces at you. Survive the onslaught, level up, advance to the next kingdom, and push back the Darkness one board at a time.

A Game of Chaess features asymmetrical play: white plays standard chess, one move at a time. Black's pieces move in a fixed order and movement pattern and Black moves all of it's pieces, every turn. Also they must capture if they can.
Black's goal is to capture the White King. White's goal is to capture all pieces to advance to next level.
Capturing pieces grants the player experience. When you level up, you can deploy reinforcements that join the quest.

- Do I need to know chess in order to play this game?
Not really, although it does come in useful. The game helps you by showing what movement options the piece has when it's selected. 

- Who is the Lord of Darkness?
Nobody knows for sure. We know he is a Grandmaster in the noble game of Chaess but aside from this his identity remains cloaked in darkness.

- Were any knights harmed in the making of this game?
Yes, many.

- Is the Chaessboard procedurally generated or something?
Not in the slightest.

- How does Chaess differ from standard Chess?
The game is played on a 10x8 board. On the 9th and 10th preview rank we can see the next wave incoming, but the pieces only move on the 8x8 board. Black's pieces move according to a fixed move order and pattern and they MUST capture if they can. Certain characters in the game may share similarities with real individuals from the world of chess, but any such resemblance is coincidental.
