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.
Visual novel set in a rural horror setting. Take on the role of a city real estate appraiser stranded in a remote village with no phone service, no cars, and no escape. Read dialogues, make choices, and try to maintain your sanity before the local Tree decides you're for dinner tonight.
One village. One night. Not a single witness.
Jane Evans is a real estate appraiser. Her job involves abandoned houses in the wilderness. Her latest assignment takes her to Roadville, a village lost in the fog. There's no communication. The bus runs once a day. And the locals are hiding something.
Jane will have to spend the night in a village where everyone smiles, but no one tells the truth. And where there's an ancient prophecy: "The most important is the one who comes from the darkness. The blood of others is needed..."
GAMEPLAY
This is a psychological visual novel where your main goal is to survive and escape. Gameplay is entirely focused on reading dialogue, Jane's internal monologues, and making decisions. Every choice you make can bring you closer to salvation—or send you into the arms of the Tree. The game offers several story paths and many hidden dead ends, where one wrong move can be fatal.
GAME FEATURES
Atmospheric horror. Terror is born from silence, fog, strange glances, and the gradual realization: you are no one here, you are alone, and no one will come.
Gaslighting as a mechanic. You will be told scary stories, and a minute later you will think it was all fantasy. Will you believe yourself? Or will you think you are going crazy?
Prophecy and the Tree. Something ancient grows in the center of the village. It is hungry. It remembers. And it has already chosen its victim.
Multiple endings. Will you escape before dawn? Or will you become part of the community? Or will you never be found?
"Truly, the most important is the one who comes from the darkness. But the one who comes from the darkness will never return."
