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 social simulation set in a nightclub where people, gossip, and secrets constantly change. No dialogue trees. No correct choices. Talk, experiment, and live through a different story every time.
Philosophy of Game
This game does not tell you what to do.
You talk to people, learn some things, miss others.
Who you trust, what you take seriously, and what you treat as a game is up to you.
Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you are just having fun.
Every playthrough flows a little differently because people and information change places.
The goal is not to play perfectly, but to stay curious, experiment, and enjoy what unfolds.
The story does not progress. It is lived.
What is The Core of The Game?
This is a social simulation and a space to experiment with human behaviour.
The nightclub is only a decoration. The mind is the main stage.
This is not a “story game.”
It is an experience-driven game.
Winning is not about clicking the right option.
Winning is about being the right kind of person for the situation.
Replayability = Real Replayability
In every playthrough:
The NPCs who hold information change
Relationships change
Character preferences change
Hidden knowledge changes hands
Replayability does not mean: “I will do the same thing better.”
Replayability means: “This time, I will be a completely different person.”
Even in the same place, with the same characters,
A totally different experience can emerge.
FINAL WORD
This game does not tell you what to do.
It asks who you want to be.
Every decision leaves a trace.
Every conversation kills or creates a possibility.
