To get brotato save files to work under steam and flatpak, I had to run the following command:
cd ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share && ln -s ln -s ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1942280/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application\ Data/Brotato Brotato
See note on getting steamcloud/gamesaves to work under flatpak.
Even with experimental - still no work
After the notes saying that experimental would fix the login issues, I attempted to try again. Same thing. Wouldn't connect to login servers.
Played twice, and got 2-3 games in and between games, the screen goes black and I can't interact with the game anymore. I can see system message and the FPS indicator, but audio has halted and the game is unplayable requiring a restart.
Playing with experimental got me past a few games.
Error: There is a problem with your game's setup. Please reinstall your game.
But if you bring the origin launcher the the foreground, the origin launcher states - "Origin is unable to install games here. please choose another folder". I've tried disable ipv6 as claimed in other posts with no success.
Previous default steam install attempt failed. Changing to a GE variant, it worked flawlessly. GE is a must.

Startup has a bit of a slight hiccup on loading screen, but no issues after. 50+ hrs so far
To get this to run in steam/flatpak, run this.
mkdir -p ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Godot/app_userdata cd ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Godot/app_userdata ln -s ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1677770/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/The\ Case\ of\ The\ Golden\ Idol .
This may work, but the AppData may be 'Application Data' depending on the proton version. I found the right path by doing "find ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1677770 | grep Idol'
See notes about flatpak. If running within flatpak, gamesaves will not save w/o the presence of ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Godot/app_userdata Once that dir existed, I made the symlink to bring the cloud-saves within view of the Godot engine.
To get flatpak & cloud-sync to work, run the following commands.
mkdir -p ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Godot/app_userdata
cd ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Godot/app_userdata
ln -s ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1677770/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/The\ Case\ of\ The\ Golden\ Idol .
The AppData path may be different based on your proton version. It could be "Application Data" vs AppData. Run find ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1677770|grep -i idol to get the path.
Ran great
Full screen is weird. It shows up on a 2nd screen instead of main screen. Running it windowed was fine. It also showed my menu bar at the bottom of the screen in full screen.
It says it's downloaded, but the game install is empty. I've contacted steam support.
Had to force Steam Play override due to an empty linux depot.
From a (github issue)[https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4970], I followed their instructions.
You should be able to go to Steam -> Library -> right click on the game or the gear symbol on the right -> Properties... -> Compatibility -> check Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool to test the game with Proton.
Periodic visual glitches make the game nearly unplayable.
Occasional full screen glitches which make the game nearly unplayable. A restart fixed it.
