Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

Its anti-cheat (Easy Anti-Cheat) is not working on Linux for this game, so it won't run properly even where Proton otherwise could handle it. Easy Anti-Cheat runs on Linux in 144 other games Sifter tracks — so this is a per-game decision rather than a limit of the anti-cheat.

Valve rates it Unsupported on Steam Machine. Valve marks it Unsupported on SteamOS.

About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Darwin Project takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic landscape in the Northern Canadian Rockies. As preparation for an impending Ice Age, a new project, half science experiment half live-entertainment, is launched. It's called "Darwin Project" and it challenges 10 participants to survive the cold and fight to the death in a treacherous arena.

KEY FEATURES:- SPECTATOR EXPERIENCE: Through the Spectator Experience Extension, viewers can impact each Darwin Project match in several groundbreaking ways:

Cast votes to choose the target of a Power activated by the Show Director
Place bets on which inmate or team they think will emerge victorious
Bid for Powers normally reserved for Show Directors & unleash them in a Private Match

- SHOW DIRECTOR: The Show Director is the living bridge between the players and spectators. He/She is the host and master who controls the arena with nuclear bombs, zone closures, gravity storms, and the power of their voice. This could be a real tool of self discovery; the start of your new career as a charming but deadly game show host. - DYNAMIC, TACTICAL GAMEPLAY WITH SURVIVAL ELEMENTS: Gather resources, craft tools, upgrade your gear, track your enemies, engage in both melee and ranged combat, and be the last inmate left alive.
