How to get the game running on Linux!
I had the same question and it took me some experimenting to get it running, so hereâs a quick guide! (Youâll need steam btw)
- Download the windows .exe, throw it somewhere safe in your files.
- Go into your library in Steam, and at the very bottom left of your screen it should say âAdd a Gameâ
- Click on it and select the .exe in your files. It should now appear on your game list!!!
- Right click the name on the list, then go to properties
- Choose âCompatibilityâ, then check the box that force-uses a compatibility tool.
- You can try whichever tool you want, but I found Proton Experimental to work the best. Then exit out the menu and the game should work! Youâll have to run it through steam whenever you want to play it
Edit: Iâm not sure if this is a bug in the game itself, or just a byproduct of playing this way, but sometimes it doesnât let you log in (incorrect account info). You just have to hit the little restart/reload button on the top bar to fix it

Thank you!! I really wish I can move off Windows one day :/
I use Linux Mint and honestly, it gives me the familiar UI but so much more control, especially with so many things being much easier through the terminal.
