This game does not work with the latest Proton build (5.13-1), so you need to use the latest GloriousEggRoll's Proton-GE build.

Download the latest build by clicking on the releases tab on the right hand side of the page, scroll down to the assets section, and download the Proton-GE tar.gz archive.

Once downloaded, extract this folder.

Next navigate to your Home directory, enable hidden files, and open the .steam folder, from there, click on the root symlink.

Within that directory, create a new folder called compatibilitytools.d and copy the Proton-GE folder into this folder.

Once done, restart and open up Steam.

Next, right click on the properties of the game, tick the Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool and select the Proton-GE build from the list.

Now when the game is launched, it will use the Proton-GE build instead of the default Proton one.
