Issues fixed
Game Won't Start on Linux/SteamDeck

Linux/Steamdeck download an empty folder

Right-click "Hatoful Boyfriend" in your steam library and open the game's properties, in the 'Compatibility' tab, Force (any) version of proton, as this will cause steam to download the Windows version. (instead of an empty Linux folder)
