"She started giving me a knobber"
(I hope y'all have seen that vid)
For anyone trying to run this on linux:
add the game as a non-steam game and point it at VotV.exe and run it in the WindowsNoEditor folder.
In the properties, go to compatibility and force proton experimental.
After launching it, it should ask you to install some stuff through a setup wizard. Accept that and install it.
Boom. Done. Easy. Runs flawlessly, thank you DrMrNostril.
