It works out of the box and it's a good visual novel. Has gamepad controls (though no prompts).

Very rare crackling. Doesn't seem to be related to energy saving settings.
I don't find the text too small for me on Deck, but if you do - font size can't be changed at the moment. I believe the author wants to do something about it to make it better on Deck.
set -- %command%; "${@//\/launcher.exe//grandia.exe}"
You have to put some effort to make it work fully. After changing proton version it runs but without the movies. Some of steps below may be unnecesary, that's what I did before making it work. Guides by Zettai and Xeawn were great help.
- Start the game.
- Download mf-install (https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install) - click "code", "download zip". Extract it.
- Copy vidreszr.dll and mfperfhelper.dll from Windows System32 nad SysWOW64 to corresponding folders in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1034860/pfx/drive_c and mf-install-master/ Rename file names in UPPERCASE to lowercase.
- Go into mf-install-master and open mf-install.sh in text editor. At the end, paste: override_dll "vidreszr" wine regsvr32 vidreszr.dll wine regsvr32 vidreszr.dll
- Go to mf-install-master. Open terminal. Run: WINEPREFIX="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1034860/pfx" PROTON="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0" ./mf-install.sh -proton

Getting it to run required some effort and patience. Especially for someone who's not sure what he's doing. After that, runs fine.
One more thing I forgot to mention: make sure the text you paste at the end of mf-install.sh looks similar in stucture to lines above them. In KEdit syntax highlighting should look the same. It may be obvious to linux users but not necessarily to someone without experience.
It's a simple and short game. The concept is the same as the old Karateka, it's just made quite stylishly. It's not hard to make it run.
Install a Windowss DLL or component - d3dx9, d3dcompiler_42
Game has no gamepad support. Made ma own, it's named Karadecka, if you'd like to use it. There are other community layouts available.
It won't run without tinkering. You will only see the logo for a brief moment and that's it. On Windows tinkering is also necessary, you have to install DirectX Redist (June 2010) for it to run.
