Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Using default Proton some of the videos were just test patterns, and I experienced one crash when moving the mouse back and forth between options. With Proton experimental it's flawless so far after playing for an hour or so.

The audio noises and how it goes out of sync constantly makes it unplayable in my opinion.

Game shows a black screen upon startup. I tried disabling esync and using wine's d3d11 but neither seemed to have an effect. Disabling d3d11 causing the game to error out as it requires direct x 11. Game is completely unplayable.
