A Clockwork Ley-Line: Daybreak of Remnants Shadow (1815970) is based on the same engine, so it could have the same problem. Needs verification though.
This is related to the locale emulator we had to bundle with the game. There will be an update in the future that will remove the requirement.
I took a look with the Locale Emulator source code as a reference, seems like it's failing somewhere in the Initialize function of LocaleEmulator.dll: https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator-Core/blob/400b08f1f137a44a473c6e465cee2d196c473221/LocaleEmulator/LocaleEmulator.cpp#L129
I haven't been able to figure out where and why though.
Currently I'm not seeing this error. However, you need to use PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 to get game to start.
If you don't use it the game window does not open and launcher process seems to wait for something.
Tested with Proton 8.0, 7.0 and 6.3. AMD Vega 56/64, kernel version 6.4.10, Mesa 23.1.4.
This workaround seems to make the game launch, but I get greeted with a black screen and title screen menu when pressing start or continue in the main menu. Has anyone managed to play the game?

Good news, got it working, I ran the game in a vm clicked through the first 2 lines and transferred my save. Seems to work on linux as well now!
Btw, I am running the original game that came as a disc. I can however confirm that the english version also works for me.
Of course I had to first apply the fix mentioned in the protondb comment
I think now only the video doesn't work, will try to play with quartz and stuff, lets see
