I was looking for a pretty niche indie game, but I wanted to try it out before purchasing... The only link that still works is made by a user who made their account 4 years ago and about 700 posts, but also 1 warning.

How do I know whether or not I should trust this link?

~~Or run it in Linux with proton. Same as VM~~

So it seem I was mistaken to feel safe using proton/wine. I stand corrected.

It really isn't, malware still can easily break out as wine nor proton were never designed for isolation in the first place. Easy example is the Z drive giving program access to the whole Linux filesystem.

Ho I see, I stand corrected. Thanks
