If you need help managing Windows games from GOG you can try Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris, they really help to simplify things and keep everything tidy. Either of these can really take away the hassle of running GOG games on Linux (and Steam Deck too). I'm especially a big fan of how slick Heroic is.

It seems that the games are (very) good, but personally, they make me feel so uncomfortable that I can't play them. I've played a bit of the first one and watched some videos on youtube of 1 and 2.
I have trouble with side scrollers, but the mode of navigation doesn't matter for this game, it's a point and click story game and traversal simply involves pressing the A key. I'm going to admit that I'm getting pulled in and want to discover the story.
Sloppy scripting though...
$ ./start.sh
Running Beholder 2
chmod: cannot access 'Beholder2.x86_644': No such file or directory
... no need for more output
It doesn't prevent it from running (just that it can't chmod it if it needs to), but line 22 in start.sh
# Actions
run_game() {
echo "Running ${GAME_NAME}"
cd "${CURRENT_DIR}/game"
if [ "$(uname -m)" == "x86_64" ]
then
chmod +x "Beholder2.x86_644"
./"Beholder2.x86_64"
else
chmod +x "Beholder2.x86"
./"Beholder2.x86"
fi
}
Simply change "Beholder2.x86_644" to "Beholder2.x86_64".
I cannot let something like that stand lol
