Hi,

Sorry for taking such a long time to reply to you: I don't check the Steam forums for my old VNs very often, so this totally slipped my notice.

I did some troubleshooting recently, and discovered that there was some issue with the version of Ren'py the current version of BH was built in, which prevented it from launching properly on Linux. I've since ugraded my version of Ren'py to its most recent iteration, and after making a new build of BH, it runs on Linux just fine.

This issue is essentially fixed, but I'm going to hold off on pushing this update for the moment, because a) updating BH through Steam's backend is a time-consuming process, and b) I have another large-ish update (potentially) planned for BH, and I'd rather push this update with the fixed Linux build simultatenously to spare me having to make two separate updates.

I'm not entirely sure when I'll be able to update BH next, but come the next update, this issue should be fixed. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this might cause!

Ok, thanks for looking into this!

Is there any update on this? I believe there was an update a few days ago but the problem persists on my end. (64-bit Linux)

After some searching, I discovered that deleting the `lib` directory under `lib/linux-x86_64` solves the problem.

I can confirm that this worked for me. And allowed running the game through Steam.

However the reason this probably works is that once you rename (recommended) or delete the "lib" directory is that the program then probably attempts to look system Python libraries instead, I guess? People encountering this issue should be aware of that.

I'm not familiar with Python interpreter or even Ren'py as an VN engine so someone else more familiar can probably could and should provide more insight into this solution if it's a good idea or not.
