Funnily enough Hatoful Boyfriend has a Linux release. When I try playing that in Japanese though I get a weird issue with fonts not showing up even though I'm pretty sure I have the correct fonts installed. Maybe it's some weird containerization thing that keeps the game from seeing the font. When I try playing the Windows release it just doesn't launch... is what I was going to say but I just tried it with Proton Experimental and it seems to work perfectly now. Problem solved I guess?
My condolences.
Oh, that's really cute! I never thought about it, but it'd be a really fun game to play in Japanese. I have met my fair share of games East/West that load up on Proton and then close. I tend to return them, unless I know someone in my family wants to play them as well. I am the only one on Linux, tbh.
*No worries! I play pretty much exclusively pixel/text based games. I am not hurting. I can also emulate consoles, so I figure I am winning. I love desktops though. They're just hard to move, and I like to travel light nowadays.
