Library of Ruina

What works

Main features of the game (opening movie, main menu, reception, stories, book management) are all tested. Everything works flawlessly. However, if you set the game to windowed mode, you should enable Wine's virtual window feature, because keyboard and mouse input won't work without doing it.

What does not

The game won't work out-of-box. Both installation and running the game requires some workarounds.

Workarounds

For installation, first launch steam by following command:

wine steam.exe -no-browser +open steam://open/minigameslist
