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.

As an extra layer of security, always run wine / proton as a separate user, for example via sudo, or even better via schroot, which won't let the "Z:/" drive see your entire filesystem.

I find Z drive seeing my filesystem a useful feature, for mods for example.

Never player with Chroot need to look into it.
