Launch FreeloadingFamily.sh. If it doesn't start then go to lib/linux-<your arch> and set FreeloadingFamily file as executable.

Zorin is just another Ubuntu derivate, as I understand, so there's no point running it in Wine, Ren'Py is Python and runs on Linux natively just fine. FreeloadingFamily.sh itself has to be executable, obviously, and this is where you start it from. Ignore the exe file, it's for Windows.

yep i know ,, but tho i set the .sh file as en executable file, it didn't run on double click, i had to drag the .sh file in the terminal or locating the .sh file in terminal then press enter to run.

You have to flag it as executable. You can do it from gui, right click, chose permissions and make it executable by owner (your user account). Do the same for binary file lib/linux-x86_64/FreeloadingFamily

Wait, does this mean that you can run all renpy game natively on linux?
They typical Windows Ren'Py build is Windows and Linux. There are separate Windows only and Linux only options, but by default the Windows and Linux box is checked. If it has a .sh file and a Linux library directory, you're golden. Unless someone screws up the permissions, but that's why I wrote Permission Fixer.

Yeah, almost all Ren'py games either come with Linux executables, or may be rebuilt with them. I wasn't able to rebuild Girl House though.
In the game directory, there's a file called script_version.txt. This is the version of the SDK used to build the game. If you don't use the same (or similar) version, you might have problems.

I'm aware of that, but thanks.
Well, I suppose it's time to finish this offtop.

You could try to start your file manager via terminal and then try to run the game by double clicking on it. Could give you some idea about what is going on there. If that isn't enough, there should be debug mode switch for the file manager to see even more output in the terminal. You can also log that output at the same time by piping it to tee like this:

<your-file-manager> | tee some-file-name.log

BTW, I have no idea which file manager is the default one in Zorin. You could try another one, as already suggested.

Also, there's a mega-shitload (that's an official SI unit, BTW ;) ) of Ubuntu derivates around the world, this is literally the first time I've heard about Zorin. Google helps, of course, but there's a bunch of people here who wouldn't (be able to?) google themselves out of a wet paper bag even if their lives depended on it, just try to ignore them.
