When starting the game, its disappears and reappears 3 or 4 times before finally showing the omninous power button. And transparency is also fully broken.
The game runs at 40 FPS most of the time (20 FPS on the login screen), but sometimes drops at 15 FPS
The game crashes and seemingly random moments sometimes.
This game has been made to run exclusively on Windows as it uses some windowing and other things.
The user on the login screen is also named "steamuser" since it apparently is the username of the Borealis VM.
// SPOILERS BELOW :
I did not reach the end of the game as it doesn't have Steam cloud, but i would suppose that the true ending would break because of the magnifying glass and of the drag and dropping of files in the game (we can't open an explorer window, except by using the Images or Music folder on the desktop, but still, drag and drop is probably broken)
// END OF SPOILERS
If you want the actual experience of this game, go play it on Windows instead, not on ChromeOS.
Most of the stuff that was made for windows doesn't work, so you won't get the same experience as on windows.
The game would rarely crash but at least there are auto-saves in this game so 👍
The game sometimes crashes for no reason, no error no nothing.
Did not launch, small black screen in corner nothing else
With and without PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
didnt work
kiedy kliknie się przycisk print w minigierce na koniec gierki the kinito crews web word w przypadku gry redy repair to gra się zamyka
Background is black throughout game. Text is slightly glitched (not too badly tho)
Pressing print after one of the minigames crashes the game.
Black box around Kinito when he's on your desktop
Reported FPS was 60 during one of the scenes, but it was actually 1 frame every 3 seconds and unplayable until it ended.
Selecting to print what I created in one of the scenes instantly crashed the game.
The game didn't launch when using the flatpak version of steam, but switching to start the game with the version of Steam installed with Apt (I'm on Pop!_OS 22.04) allowed the game to launch and play start to finish.
Hard to read text; missing wallpaper/black background
Recommend playing on a desktop environment (e.g. KDE, GNOME, XFCE, etc.) Otherwise toggle windows between tiling mode and floating mode if using window managers (e.g. i3wm, dwm, bspwm) so windows required for game progression will appear, like cmd. Don't enable "Windowed Mode" as it will make the text in game even smaller and therefore even harder to read.
Crash on pressing "Print" after doing a certain minigame.
Softlocked after immediately pressing 'OK' button on the dialog box that says "KinitoPET has refused your name." Most likely a game bug, not Proton bug.
Appreciate the dev team at Valve for making this game work on Proton Experimental without any more workarounds, but KinitoPET requires a lot of Windows stuff to make it "immersive". If you really put your mind onto it, you can finish this on Linux. Just don't expect a lot.
Changed stuff to be more mouse like, added virtual keyboard to every back button
Text was had to see
Text looked downgraded
Desktop background is black, windows key will not work requiring waiting for one part
Game wont launch, KinitoPET is only for Windows and won't run on Linux, if you manage to get the game running on any distro
Sometimes can launch but is broken.
in the first launch it runs but with no screen after restarting the game it just closes everytime
with and without PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
also I could launch it with wine
Black screen and closes.
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%
Thought it would be funny to have it try to do the things this game does but be unable to, but it doesn't even open, so that is a bust.
Like the other person said here, it's best if you play this on Windows. Don't bother with playing it on Linux as it'll ruin the experience.
Required to be used for launching KinitoPET.exe through Wine explorer first.
No background picture and hard to read text
Game will sometimes switch to different windows, move windows around, or resize windows, which is part of the game. Fullscreen mode might prevent some windows (which is necessary for secrets or to progress to the game) from appearing in front of the screen. Changing display resolution breaks the game.
Will crash when you press the "Print" button on a certain minigame.

The was originally intended to only run on windows so i wasn't suprised when it insta-crashes on launch.
I also tried Wine, but it didn't help either
The game was intented to run on windows and ONLY windows, so again, i wasn't suprised when it crashed on launch.
This game is made to be played in windows. Will not work on Linux.
(Even if it would work, it would not be an enjoyable experience as the game relies on windows-shenanigans for in-game mechanics)
This game pretty much only works on windows. It can not work otherwise
Tried various proton versions
This game makes use of unique window rendering techniques that would need complete rewrites to work on XOrg or Wayland
The game isn't that long, just play on Windows when you get the chance.
