Does Bright Memory run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Bright Memory is a Windows game that runs on Linux through Proton, the tool built into Steam, and players on ProtonDB rate it Gold, the second-highest rating.
Bright Memory is an indie action and adventure game from FYQD-Studio, first released on 25 March 2020.
It is a game for one player. Steam lists partial controller support.
The evidence
- Its own Linux version
- No, it runs through Proton
- Player rating on ProtonDB
- Gold, from 57 reports
- Steam Deck (which runs Linux)
- Marked unsupported by Valve
- Anti-cheat
- None listed
How to play it
- Install Steam from your Linux app store and sign in. Your library is already there.
- In Steam's settings, under Compatibility, switch on "Enable Steam Play for all other titles". That turns on Proton for every Windows game. You only do this once.
- Install Bright Memory and press Play.
Valve marks this game unsupported on the Steam Deck. That rating is about the handheld, and can be down to its screen, controls or power, so it does not by itself mean the game fails on a desktop PC. Check the recent ProtonDB reports before buying.
