NTE: Neverness to Everness is the latest bigger Anime gacha game to arrive on Steam from Perfect World Games / Hotta Studio and it can work on SteamOS / Linux.
Like many other Anime gacha games it uses Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE), which by default seems to have blocks in place but we can get it to work thanks to a community-made version of Proton.
You’ll need the latest DW-Proton for it to work, otherwise with Valve’s official Proton the game will just instantly quit after you hit the Play button.
After that, you’ll be good to go and the game will launch properly.
A bit of a nuisance, but this is the same story for multiple similar Anime games.
Hopefully this will get you up and running in no time! With DW-Proton it worked well for me on Fedora KDE.
Our anti-cheat page has been updated to note this status.
