To get the game to accept input: Use trackpad as mouse to click on (which will just highlight) Controls, then hit Steam Button + Right on DPAD for Enter to move into Controls menu. Do the same with Audio. Do the same to UNcheck Screen Reader. Controls will now work properly.

The game has a painful and consistent stutter every two seconds. I was able to almost completely eradicate this by using PowerTools to set the Deck to use 3 cores, however. Why this works is anyone's guess, but the game plays fine this way.
With the latest Proton Experimental, no tinkering necessary, and music is fine!
Game has the same problem Dragon Quest Builders 2 has--despite very low CPU/GPU utilization, it runs at 30-45 FPS in Game Mode. However, it runs at full speed in Desktop Mode. Some speculate there's a double VSync going on, but I can't verify that. Also of note: The game will have a black screen in Game Mode by default--in Desktop Mode, change from Windowed to Fullscreen, and this will be fixed, but not the choppy framerate.
See note about switching to Fullscreen in Desktop Mode.
Same framerate issues as present in Dragon Quest Builders 2 in Game Mode, very likely the same problem.
If the problem affecting this in Game Mode can be found and solved, this will likely fix multiple games with Namco Bandai rendering engines.
With SteamOS 3.4, enable the "Allow Screen Tearing" option, and the game now plays flawlessly!
Contrary to prior reports, there ARE sound effects on the main menu and in-game in Windows, and those are absent both on general Linux and on the Steam Deck. I wasn't able to find any way around this.
Aside from having no sound effects (music works fine where it should be present), the game plays perfectly fine out of the box.
Works great, just pick the "hammerofthyrion" option with Luxtorpedia, and you're off to the races.
The missing voiceovers/captions are very few and far between and really aren't likely to impact the experience meaningfully.
Some of the voiceover audio, along with the captions, is missing--looks to be appearing for a split second, then gone.
All I had to do to get this running was just wait a bit. No tinkering, no eldritch summoning rituals. Give it a couple minutes on the spinning Steam logo, and away it goes.
Change in-game settings from Windowed x3 to Fullscreen, runs at full speed then. I feel kinda stupid for not figuring that out sooner.
Do not use Windowed Mode unless you want to play at half speed for some reason.
By default, game runs at half speed. Changing to Fullscreen completely fixes this.
Yay for easy fixes.

With older Proton and launch options, game works great. With any other version of Proton, game has a stutter issue similar to Chrono Trigger at set intervals every few seconds that is very annoying.
