Hello, and thank you for playing LOVE 3! As I have made a native Linux port of the game for an older version of Linux, it is not properly supported by the Steam Deck, but thankfully with Windows version runs perfectly! I've spoken with folks at Valve who have assured me that this will eventually be something I can set in the backend, but for folks with a Steam Deck who want to play the game now, here you go!
First, find LOVE 3 in your Steam Library on your Steam Deck, and press the Options Button, as illustrated at the bottom of the screen.
Second, find the "Properties..." option, and press A.
Finally, on the left side of the screen, select the "Compatibility" option, set "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool", and select "Proton Experimental".
This will download the Windows build of the game, and you'll be good to go. Launch it like you would any other game on your Steam Deck!
If you've enjoyed your time with LOVE 3 on or off the Steam Deck, it'd be a huge help if you'd leave a review of the game! This will tell Steam to share the game with folks who might also like it. One review can go a long way to a game's success, so I hope you'll take a moment and do that.
Thanks so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy!
LOVE 3 is a precision platformer where you control fiveEight, a lone survivor searching for others in a mechanical, apocalyptic world. Face challenging obstacles, discover hidden secrets, and try to find hope within the hopeless as you overcome each new danger.
What you find as you explore will influence the end, so make sure you find what’s important.
