Can't install on Linux with Itch launcher

I am trying to install this with the Itch launcher on Linux.

I click install, and it brings up the installation menu as normal, where I choose the package and destination.

However, there are no entries in the package selection field, so there is nothing to install.

I'm not sure, since I don't handle the launcher. That's more something you need to check with itch.

I've seen this happen with multiple games. Basically, when managing uploads to Itch, there is a list of checkboxes for compatibility. You are supposed to click the boxes for ALL compatible systems for the uploaded file. This means you have to click the box for both Windows and Linux when uploading the file to Itch.

Does the Windows version work on Linux? There's a native Linux port, but it's horrendously outdated, so I think most modern Linux machines aren't able to play it.

Most Linux Machines will simply use Wine64 or something, which allows Windows games to be played on Linux, albeit to a degree. It depends how the game is made. If it's made in RPGMaker, there will be missing fonts/text and whatnot, but it should still function. If it's made in Ren'py, there shouldn't be any issues. Unity is able make both the Windows and Linux executables. 


But if there is a Working Linux Port, I would suggest asking the Developer to update.
