The Linux port does not start, possibly due to using an absolute path for libsteam_api.so.

./SpookyGhostsDotCom: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Please fix this.

this fix that someone posted below seems to work for some distros:

"

nevermind I fixed it, so in linux:

chmod +x SpookyGhostsDotCom

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$(pwd)

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./SpookyGhostsDotCom

Yes, but you have to type/copy those lines individually into the terminal every single time you want to start the game, is there a way to not have to do it every time?

im not sure unfortunately, im not super familiar with linux

i used ubuntu for testing, seems to be only certain distros that have this issue?

I use Linux Mint, which is part of the Ubuntu family, so that's even more surprising.

it does not matter which distro. game will fail for all distros because it's faulty by itself.

same on Debian. game uses steam protection to run. instead of looking for a solution to link that steamAPI file you'd better ask why it happened on DRM free storefront. I just sent error report, hopefully itch support can review this game and will ensure we don't need to dance around steam DRM to run this game.
