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.

Everything is ASCII. A survivor-like roguelite where every monster, bullet, and explosion is made of text on a CRT screen. 8 characters, 16 weapons, 6 enchantments, 4 game modes. See how long your terminal holds.

A Survivor-Like Roguelite, Rendered in Pure ASCII

Every monster, bullet, and explosion is ASCII text on a CRT screen. Glow, barrel distortion, particle effects layered on top — and it still plays like a survivor-like should.

Weapons fire automatically and enemies come from every direction. You keep moving, keep picking upgrades, and by mid-run you can barely tell what's killing what.

What's in the Game

- 8 characters with different starting weapons and passives
- 16 weapons across 6 attack patterns — nova rings, whirlwinds, spark chains, screen-wide beams, etc.
- 4 game modes — Normal (10 min / 20 waves), Endless, Trial (daily seed), Pact (stackable handicaps)
- 6 enchantments (fire, ice, poison, lightning, leech, curse) that stack on any weapon
- 15 passive skills to shape your build
- 3 maps with unique enemies, elite variants, and multi-phase bosses
- Meta Shop for permanent upgrades between runs
- 35 achievements

Why ASCII?

I just wanted chaos in pure ASCII. Text characters, post-processing, and a lot of particle effects. Looks like a terminal? Into the bullet storm.

Accessibility

Adjustable difficulty (Standard / Hard / Insane), independent Master / BGM / SFX volumes, keyboard-only or controller-only play.
Photosensitivity: CRT, glow, barrel warp, vignette, and glitch effects each toggle individually. A "Reduce Flashing" option softens rapid color flicker on hit and enemy windup.
