Anime Games Linux

Run your favorite anime games on a private server with this transparent proxy wrapper. No complicated setup, no messing with hosts files—just point, configure, and play.

What does it do?

This tool sits between your game and the internet, redirecting traffic from the official server to the private server. It handles patches automatically and works seamlessly with Wine/Proton on Linux.

Quick Start

Get the tool

1. Grab the latest release from the release page
2. Make it executable:

chmod +x anime-games-linux

3. Save it in a safe place like ~/bin/ or ~/.local/bin/

Using with Heroic (easiest method)

Heroic Games Launcher explains this very clearly:

1. Add your game to Heroic

• If it isn't already there, add it and navigate to the game's executable file.

2. Configure the wrapper

• Right-click the game → Settings
• Go to the Advanced tab
• In the Wrapper field, enter the full path to anime-games-linux
• Like: /home/yourname/bin/anime-games-linux
• Add -w to the wrapper field (this prevents annoying prompts)

3. Set your server info

• Go to the Environment tab in the same settings
• Add the following variables:

SERVER=ps.yuuki.me
SERVER_PORT=443
USE_SSL=1

• Change these variables to match your private server if you're using a different server.

4. Press play

Done. The wrapper will take care of the rest.
