I installed the game by downloading the installer from GoG.
The game fails to start with an error message that it cannot find a shared object.
An appropriately named shared object does appear to be installed alongside the game however.

While the game does bundle some of its shared libraries, the version of the game I downloaded does not appear to be using the shared libraries it bundles.
Modifying `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to search the `./game` directory finds them.

However, one required library isn't bundled at all: libjpeg.so.8

Debian bookworm doesn't package this particular version of libjpeg.
It would be ideal if the game's Linux build could be updated to bundle it.



On my install of Debian bookworm, libjpeg.so.8 might be the only missing library my install doesn't provide.

As a workaround it is possible to unconventionally locate and install a deb package for libjpeg.so.8.
See: unix.stackexchange.com/a/765373

On Debian bookworm, with libjpeg8_8b-1_amd64.deb installed, the game launched.

However, spell casting doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what the UI was supposed to look like, but when I select a spell on the Magic tab and then click "Cast Spell", a 2 button pop-up titled "Remove Spell" appears with options to Accept or Cancel and the text "Are you sure you want to cancel the spell NAME on yourself?". Neither button actually casts the spell.
