    Looks like it’s supported on proton, silver

    https://www.protondb.com/app/1315200

    So install it through steam and it should be playable

      Yeah but the steam one seems kind of sketch reading the reviews

        You don’t need to buy it on Steam to launch it through Steam

        Ah then what you want is probably umu launcher

        Then you can run whatever you want under proton, though this isnt “officially” supported so you might have an odd glitch or 2. But if it runs on steam proton fine enough, it shouldn’t be much different
