I may be an idiot, but how the hell do you run a Ren'py game on Linux?
Sometimes the games don't set the proper permissions on files before packing. You may need to add the executable privilege on the .sh file, then on lib/linux-x86_64/Rogue-Like. Ping me if you need help with that.

If that doesn't work, try launching the .sh file through the terminal. That should give you a better description of what went wrong.

Last resort, if you have Wine, launching the Windows .exe file works.

I run repny games in a bottle ( ), which is a sort-of-VM.

That way I just run the Windows version, and can also reject access to my file system and network in case a game tries to do something shady.

If you use one of the beginner-friendly linux distros like Mint, Bottles should be available in the built-in package manager.

Make sure you're in your Rogue Like root directory. Then type:
Code:
chmod +x Rogue-Like.sh && chmod +x ./lib/linux-x86_64/Rogue-Like
or, if you're lazy
Code:
chmod -R +x *
Thanks for fielding that, although for the sake of ensuring no confusion I'm going to specify
Code:
sudo chmod +x Rogue-Like.sh && sudo chmod +x ./lib/linux-x86_64/Rogue-Like
