This one is kind of different. When I claimed it from the Amazon store on heroic, Amazon then instructs me to install the Amazon games launcher in order to play it. I didn't even know ~~since~~ such thing even existed. Fine, downloaded the .exe file and installed it through heroic then installed the game through Amazon games launcher through heroic 🤦🏽‍♂️, the mental gymnastics us Linux users have to go through to just play a game. Then when the games installed, I created another game through heroin, but this time I pointed it to the game's prefix instead of the Amazon's games launcher.

Weird. I know that the web page always instructs me to use Amazon's launcher every time I claim a game, but I've never actually needed to. Maybe they've changed something?

I have ~~ni~~ no fucking idea, but I got it working now. I even figured out a way to change the "quit to windows" option in the game to "quit to Linux", just as a fuck you to them. Lol
