SQUIRREL STAPLER 1.0
Build log for GNU/Linux (Wine compatibility layer)
> INSTALLATION NOTE:
Extract to ~/.local/share/surrealsoft/.
Run wine squirrel-stapler.exe.
If the window turns red and the cursor becomes a sewing needle, do not force quit. That is the game saving.
> GAMEPLAY SUMMARY:
You are the Forest-Behind-the-House.
The Player Character is a taxidermist who lost his thumbs in a thresher accident.
He has only a rusted Swingline stapler and a burlap sack full of live squirrels.
Your objective: Staple them to the branches before they bite through the bag.
The squirrels are screaming in 8-bit mono.
The moon is a single cracked pixel.
When a squirrel escapes, it runs up your spine. You feel this as a USB rumble effect (Linux kernel 5.3+ required).
> UNLOCKABLE LORE:
If you successfully staple 47 squirrels to the barren oak, the Static Man appears on the horizon.
He has no face. He has your face.
He whispers through the headphone jack: “You cannot staple a memory.”
A hidden folder appears in /tmp titled squirrel_confessions/. Inside:
sorry_mom.txtthe_night_i_broke_him.logeverything_is_still_breathing.wav> KNOWN BUGS (WINE 9.0):
libgl1. You must reinstall it. The game does not care. It says: “Now it feels correct.”> REVIEW EXCERPT – PC Gamer, hypothetical:
“‘Squirrel Stapler’ is not a game. It is a cry for help issued through a wrapper of open-source suffering. The fact it runs better in Proton than native Windows is either a miracle or a curse. I gave it 63%. My cat hasn’t looked at me the same way since.” Squirrel Stapler - 1.0 - ENG - GNU Linux Wine -...
> END SCREEN TEXT:
You have stapled 0 squirrels to yourself.
The forest thanks you for trying.
Press ESC to exit.
Press F to staple one last time, into the void between frames.
Nothing happens.
Which is, somehow, the saddest ending of all.
> SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (REAL):
“Squirrel Stapler 1.0” – now stapling your nightmares to the inside of your skull.
Works on GNU/Linux with Wine. Results may vary. Stapler not included.
Squirrel Stapler (version 1.0) is a psychological horror hunting simulator developed by David Szymanski. A standout feature for Linux users is its excellent performance and compatibility via Proton (Wine-based), with players reporting it works "out of the box" with a Platinum rating on most distributions. Key Game Features
Absurdist Horror Premise: You play as a hunter who must skin squirrels to staple them onto his deceased wife to make her "beautiful" again.
Authentic Hunting Mechanics: Despite its weirdness, it features legitimate mechanics like crouching, hiding in bushes, and using a squirrel call to lure targets.
Educational Squirrel Facts: The large, nonlinear map is littered with actual (and increasingly unsettling) facts about squirrels.
Atmospheric Progression: The game spans five days, during which the environment becomes more surreal, culminating in the arrival of God on the final day.
Bonus Modes: The standalone release includes an unlockable Giant Squirrels mode and full controller support. Linux/Wine Performance SQUIRREL STAPLER | A 60 Second Review

Given the context, I'll provide a general outline of what features for such a product might look like, focusing on the stapler aspect and compatibility with GNU Linux and Wine:
Navigate to the folder containing Squirrel Stapler 1.0 - ENG.exe. From the terminal:
cd /path/to/your/game/folder
wine "Squirrel Stapler 1.0 - ENG.exe"
If the game is in a .zip archive, extract it first:
unzip Squirrel_Stapler_1.0.zip -d squirrel_stapler
cd squirrel_stapler
wine SquirrelStapler.exe (or whatever the main executable is named)
This guide assumes a Debian/Ubuntu or Arch-based distribution. Adapt package manager commands as needed.
Solution: This is a classic Wine issue. Run winecfg, go to the Audio tab, and uncheck "Driver Emulation". Set ALSA (or PulseAudio) as the default. Restart the game.
Squirrel Stapler is a surreal, first-person horror game (often compared to Chulip meets Harvester) originally made for Windows. Since no native Linux version is listed in your filename, Wine is required. The game is lightweight and typically runs well under Wine with minimal tweaks. sorry_mom
