I'm looking for a guide on how to install and play games from that girl we know using heroic launcher.

I use faugus launcher. Either add the game to it so you can tweak it later (custom wineprefix/ wine-version etc...) or just click on the .exe to launch with the default prefix/settings.

Simplest launcher that I know.

This has been frustrating and hasn't done anything for me. Whenever I try to open a .exe file with it, it just shows the launcher itself and not an actual game. It's been completely useless for me so far. How do I get it to work?
