It's a gem on the deck. As far as I've seen, the battery would last easily 6h playing this game. There's no need to tweak anything :).

Use Proton, Native doesn't close and that can lead to lost progress.

Save Games:Other

Native does not end the process after exit, using the "Stop" on steam to close it lead to lost progress once.

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

env --unset=SDL_VIDEODRIVER gamemoderun %command%

This should work without tinkering under X11. Since I use Wayland, I had the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable set to wayland, which caused the game's older version of SDL to fail to initialize.

Tinker Steps:Launcher: itch.io

Game works perfectly in basically every way on Deck.

Installed via Itch.io launcher, and then added non-steam game and selected installed files. Cannot test Steam Direct but I presume it would work well - I just don't own this game in Steam.
