My System Info 2

GPU Driver Version: Nouveau/Mesa 23.0.4
Both systems are up to date.
Note any particular steps to reproduce it below here
Simply run the game on a dual monitor system.
As a random guess, you can configure and enable "virtual desktop" to match that of just one of your monitors, this will make the game only see that resolution, so when it launches it will simply open to that size, on your current monitor (one with cursor currently only it).
If it's a native game, and happens to be using unity, you might find options in ~/.config/unity3d/(studio)/(gamename)/prefs - you should be able to configure it to use only one monitor there.

It's a native Linux game that is made using the FOSS Ren'Py engine.

This bug report may help you find the games save data, which may (or may not?) help:
https://github.com/renpy/renpy/issues/1377
If it has an editable configuration file, you may be able to tweak it. But beyond that, I'm not sure. (You beat me
With that said, I see a familiar name on that bug report, who is a GOL user also. So they may be able to help, once they see this thread.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I hadn't heard of Gamescope before but I may give it a try.

Anyway, Gamescope is great for fixing these issues, if you don't mind the extra overhead that can come with it. Almost definitely not a problem for a VN, but for some games it can introduce noticeable stutter when running in nested mode (i.e. not as a separate desktop session but as a window inside of a desktop environment), particularly with XWayland.
It should also be noted that Gamescope and Nvidia can oftentimes have trouble, with things not working correctly or breaking after an Nvidia driver update (though it looks like you're using Nouveau, this is just a general here-be-dragons). Be sure to check the issue tracker if you run into trouble, people are usually blazing fast at reporting issues in general (talking minutes after a commit fast).
