Steam Deck Compatibility
Setup Notes
You need to download and run the exe for the following: Install DirectX & Install VC_redist.x64 (the C++ runtime is automatically installed in version 2.0). You also need to use an older version of Proton. I successfully tested with Proton 7.0-6.

Technical Details
About This Game
A third-person thriller in which a novelist hunting for his missing wife around the town of Bright Falls starts turning up pages of a horror story he cannot remember writing, and which keeps coming true ahead of him. It is built like a television series, and its fights turn on burning the dark off an enemy with a torch before a bullet will touch them.
