AffinityOnLinux provides an easy way to install and run Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher, and the unified Affinity v3 application on Linux. The installer automatically sets up Wine (a compatibility layer for running Windows applications) with all necessary configurations, dependencies, and optimizations.

2 -Make it executable: chmod +x Affinity-3-x86_64.AppImage

(or simply right click the app> property > permission > flag as executable)

3- Run it: ./Affinity-3-x86_64.AppImage (or right click > open)

Set in the vast world of H.P. Lovecraft, Dreams of a Dead God takes place in 1936 Louisiana following the events of the author’s seminal cosmic horror story The Call of Cthulhu.

Tracking a kidnapper and murderer from France to Louisiana, a young woman and her adopted brother team up with local police and set out into the swamps north of New Orleans. Here the group uncovers much more than they expected, barely succeeding in capturing the fugitive before being forced to flee.

The only surviving record of the event, Dreams of a Dead God is the recovered film recording of the rushed interrogation that occurred shortly after.
