    Fortunately this person waited until it was playable to reveal it, so you can download it now before it gets zapped. Many projects show off footage early to build buzz and get killed before dropping a download.

    I mean... If it was online at some point, it's probably still out there for anyone that goes looking.

    For example, Bloodborne PSX is still available at the Internet Archive; and Bloodborne Kart became Legally Distinct Nightmare Kart and is available on Steam.

    Definitely playing this tonight! I loved the PS1 MoH releases.

    Please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject. I've just installed pop os from being a windows user for my whole life.

    I'd like to run this game on pop os and from my understanding I need wine? I understand steam games using proton, etc. I've got lutris installed. I've got wine 11 installed , and I've got winetricks installed.

    What processes would I undertake in order to play this on my pop os install?

    Cheers for anyone that could help, I really appreciate it. Trying to wrap my head around the new way of doing things. Tricky for a middle aged bugger like me to learn new tricks, but I'm trying haha.

    On top of what the other person said, Lutris allows you to install windows games very easily in like 3 steps.

    You click the + in Lutris, and then click either "Install a Windows game from an executable" if it's an installer, or click "Add locally installed game" if it's not. In this case it's an installer, so you'd click the former. It'll then ask you to give the game a name, where you want it installed, and then where the downloaded file is. Then the standard windows installer will pop up.

    At that point the game will be installed, and you can right click it in Lutris to play around with settings if you'd like. Notably, you can change things like the wine/proton version in the "Runner options" tab.

    I'm kind of new to that as well, but I had some success with other games by using the command line to run it like 'wine /path/to/executable'. Alternatively, you might be able to add it to Steam as a non-Steam game, then configure it within Steam to use Proton and run it that way.

    export WINEPREFIX=./your-prefix, it's where the .dll get put. Then wine game.exe. But you will likely lack some dll, install them via winetricks, vcrun2022 is often needed. Proton has them already in their prefix, but is made for Steam, thus tooling like umu-launcher and GUI launchers like Lutris, Gamehub, Heroic, exists.

    Ah btw, the WINEPREFIX is just a environment variable wine needs. And honestly, wine's cli interface is quite lacking.

    Is this built as a mod of another game?

    This is so cool, 100% trying this later!

    Probably a dumb question, but I started playing it, went to check controls and accidentally tried to change the control for changing weapons. When I went to set it back (scroll up or down) it’s not accepting scrolling as an input. Does anyone know a solution? Or if one exists? There’s no option for reverting to default configs.
