You don't need any wrappers. This is a ScummVM game, so you can run it with the native Linux ScummVM installation.

Install the native ScummVM on your distro (For instance "sudo apt install scummvm")
Run ScummVM
Click "Add Game" and point it to your Steam library: [...]/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Beneath a Steel Sky/SKY
Click OK and enjoy your game.
