Heaven Dust is a nostalgic trip down a 90's survival horror puzzle lane. A mansion filled with zombies working on a secret experimental virus that gets out of containment, ... Stop me if you've heard this one...

This game is an inviting dose of wayback as I felt the almost forgotten urge to travel empty hallway to empty hallway searching for keys and clues to inch my way further.

Running on Proton-6.21-GE-2 the game runs without any settings changes. Though, the game's gfx are simple and chibi with little to no settings in the first place.

As a Linux gamer you can rest assured the game will play via steam proton.
