Time namespaces may be the best bet if you also need to run other tools with the same time configuration alongside the game.

For quick one-offs, there's libfaketime with the faketime command. I'm not 100% sure that this will work with things like Wine but it should be relatively easy to test.

I tried putting faketime before the lutris command in the .desktop file but i still couldnt save
