Notes

The game runs perfectly fine on both Steam Deck and a regular desktop PC running SteamOS.

Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read

The developers have addressed this in the patch released on August 6th:

Steam Deck improvements: Enlarged all in-game text for better readability
