Thank you so much for this, I know someone who will benefit a lot from it it’s a great gift ^^

Update: everything working great https://files.transmom.love/video/valhalla02.webm

One more thing: You can't change the audio sink of the game on pulseaudio, which is bad for the streaming I wanted to do.  This turns out to be unrelated to the problems above; it's due to the game have a locked setting on OpenAL, and it can be changed by adding the following to ~/.alsoftrc ：

[pulse]
allow-moves=yes

Installing on Linux in 2021 (Debian buster):

The provided package depends on external libraries, which makes things hard especially because they’re i386 (32-bit) not amd64 (64-bit) libraries.

I needed to do this:

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

    sudo apt update

    sudo apt install zlib1g:i386 libxxf86vm1:i386 libgl1:i386 libopenal1:i386 libssl-dev:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386

Then there’s one library that runs a very old version (libssl 1.0.0) and we need to get it manually:

    wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0...

    sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u12_i386.deb

This works but without sound, what’s missing is Pulseaudio support for i386:

    sudo apt install libpulse0:i386

Note: for some reason the above install removed a lot of my standard (amd64) Pulseaudio and Gnome stuff. I just reinstalled everything it removed, and it kept both the i386 library and the normal one, with both audios working.

At this point the game at last seems to work, but with all these old dependencies I don’t know if it will last.  Will report here later, but it might be safer to just make a chroot or virtual machine from 2017 to run the game in.

Does it run on Wine?

broke my immersion that I can't escape that space ^^;

it's git with an i :)

Hi,

I could not run this on Wine 4. Any hopes of an eventual Linux release?

Hello,

The info page lists many languages including German, but when I open the game (in Linux) the language selection only show a few options, German not included.

Running on linux log (wine-4.0):

On trying to run, the game asked for something called an "RPGVXAce RTP".  This could be downloaded from the RPG Maker website and installed on Wine without further issue. The game then ran ok, as far as I can tell, with graphics, sound and controls all seemingly working.  The only issue is that the window is really tiny in hDPI, and I couldn't find a way to fullscreen; workaround was to lower the screen resolution to a very low setting (using xrandr) so that the text was legible.

I am a transgender woman who did dialect research in Japan. I had to mingle with locals in small villages. Many times they asked me to go together to local hot springs, and I had to refuse with bad excuses.

It was powerful, moving and a bit uncanny playing a game about that experience. I am deeply grateful & recommend your work to everybody I know. I love how sensitive and cute it is. Thank you.

update for anybody reading this: it worked in the latest Wine 4! if it doesn't work for you try recent versions!

i'll be your patroness forever you magnificent slime creature

did not run on Wine unfortunately. i will play i when i find a friend with a windows computer, which should be easy as soon as i find friends
