Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
Played on Linux using Proton-GE, Has a start/end video, can be played on normal proton but your get a blank black screen at the start and end but press and holding "E" will skip past, First played using Nvidia 495 and frame rate was okay until near the end of the game when it drop to 9 to 12 fps, Quiting out of the Game and reloading fixed this and frame rate was okay again, also had 1 game freeze which i needed to force quit/kill, Due to another Game not working with nvidia 495 i had to drop down to 470 and now the Game has really bad performance, Getting around 30 to 40 fps with drops to 20, Also you have to turn of head bobbing else next time you load a save you cannot move??, I did like the Game, It's a simple walking Sim, with collect something to do something (key card to open doors, etc), and note reading, i did like the story but was easy to work out where the story was going very early on, and no Puzzle to solve other then find item and use it somewhere, I did like the Game so i will recommend it, AMD FSR did not help with the FPS on Nvidia 470 running at 720p, i only gained about 5 fps and that's on a RTX 2060.
