I wasn't feeling great and tried to install the GOG Linux release of Undertale on my system for a few hours of escapism, only to be meant with an error that it needed a specific version of a sound library that is now too outdated to find in the package manager.

This is at least one aspect where things like Flatpak and AppImage shine (though I ran into the library issue more with Ubuntu and its PPAs, the AUR at least seems a little better in this regard).

Although in regards to gaming, if the native Linux build is unmaintained you may just have better luck running the Windows executable through Proton.
