UPDATE - 5/7/2024 - A new update was just issued for ZZZ, I am pleased to confirm that the game works with 0 issues. - Launch ZZZ from Gaming Mode and let the client update, then Play Game. - On the login screen, be patient and let it update, once complete go through to the game as normal. ❤
Thank you for letting me know, I'll get round to testing it as soon as I can. It will likely be the case where we might need to reinstall to resolve this although I'll try to discover a workaround. Have you tried updating from desktop mode as well as gaming mode?
@DeckWizard On desktop mode it doesn't go through the hoyo launcher so starting the game in the either mode notifies me of an update then closes itself on confirmation. I wonder if doing the same process but with the hoyo launcher itself could work?
you are the first channel that i have ever seen, begin from start to end with everything on the screen, normal cuts to speed up time. and explain step by step why and how to it on the deck. i am deff subbing. thank you
I didn’t need this but I was curious about if there was an easier way to what I did. I must say if this is what all of your tutorials are like they’re the best steamdeck tutorials on the platform. You clearly explain everything and take enough time so everyone knows what to do but also doesn’t over explain everything. Keep these up! Will definitely be coming here for any future tutorials
@@Camgaroo This is a very nice comment to read, I'm very thankful for you taking your time to write this. I'm very glad you enjoyed the guide and please stay tuned for more ❤ you have a great day.
Great tutorial. They seriously need to bring HOYO games to Steam. No reason for Epic Games to get these titles and not Steam. The same for Wuthering Waves.
They have a deal with Epic games and Sony. But also their leadership doesn’t see other storefronts and platforms as worthwhile / a priority since they make the bulk of their money from mobile players.
Yes! Managed to get it worked. Even better if you got ZZZ installed on pc you could just copy the file and find the game on the launcher. Esp if you’re tight on free space. I’m copying the zenless game folder into launcher location and putting it into “game” subfolder. It detects automatically when im downloading a patch. Haven’t tinker with the setting,controller hasn’t work (prolly gonna change it from home screen in game to controller) This is a solid tutorial!
After looking at a dozen install guides, THIS IS THE ONE if you're installing the game on a *LINUX PC*. I'm running Steam on Manjaro Linux and I play Elden Ring, Elden Ring Co-op Mod, Forza Horizon 5, Lords of the Fallen, Monster Hunter, Snowrunner, and a bunch of other games WITHOUT Lutris or any other launcher.
You should do more videos like this. Show us how to install emulators and other games. This is the best tutorial I have ever watched. Most are super long and will tell you to do a step but then not show you where or what it looks like.
thank you for the video. I was able to follow the instruction and complete the installation on my Steam Deck. I now link my Steam deck to my main account on my PS5 so I don’t have to start over again. At least, I’m still trying to link my Steam deck to my PS5. It is awesome. Now I can play this game when I am in bed. Thank you. Update: I’m able to link my Steam deck account to my PS5. So I am good.
Thanks for the guide! Very easy to follow without needing to install it via Epic launcher or Lutris. I could copy the files from my main PC and got it working easily
That's very kind of you, thank you for the positive feedback! It would be great if HoyoVerse came to Steam but they are probably making enough money without the consideration imo, although more platforms is great for the consumer. Enjoy the game and have a great day!
Btw, small heads up if the game keeps on crashing randomly during play and force you to reboot the Steam Deck, you can mitigate this by increasing pagination file on the steam deck to allocate more memory in disk to spare the ram.
Not sure if I'll get a reply, but basically, despite following this guide precisely, 2 times now the game has switched from the C drive to another drive (Z), and says there's only 7 gbs available, leaving me unable to update. Whenever this happens, I uninstall the game, and then launcher, and follow these steps again. If you, or anyone, knows a way to fix this, I'm all ears 😭
Thank you for your guides. I could install Honkai and Wuthering Waves without issues. But I could not start ZZZ in game Mode. When I press Start it seems nothing is happening and on second click it Tells me that the game is already running.
Hi, thank you for the video. I followed your instructions and game works. I had an issue where my steamdeck controls weren't recognised. Easy fix; once on the game loading screen you, touch screen gear looking icon to go into settings then go into input and change UI Layout to Controller
For anyone else wondering about this, pressing Start on your controller will change to it and likewise pressing Escape on your keyboard will change to kb+m.
Great video, subscribed! Would you go more into explicit detail about how to enter the text in with the parentheses and non parentheses, because that part was kinda confusing for me 😅
Im getting another thing, im being told to execute and choose what application to put the launcher in through dolphin, completely different from the video
Coming from windows, how does the steam deck behave, when I want to install both Genshin and Zenless Zone zero? Will they share a file folder? If not, do you have tip or guide how to install both on one steam deck without the hoyoplay launcher running into probelms?
can you install ZZZ to the micro SD?, i wanted to have my emulators and hoyo games in my micro SD card. But HSR doesnt want to install in the micro SD card.
@@kiby4912 Please can you try downloading the installer and adding it to the root of your SD Card please? When the installer is on the SD Card, add to Steam and your Compatdata folder *should* appear on the SD Card. Please let me know if this works or what happens in as much detail as possible, thank you! ❤
I was unable to install the game directly to the SD card as the launcher would say it had -0.00GB of free space, so I had to first install the game to the internal storage and then manually copy the "ZenlessZoneZero Game" folder to the SD card. After that, I opened the launcher, went to Game Settings > Relocate Game and set it to the folder on the SD card.
You can add this on the launch options: STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=%command% This will mount the SD card as a drive (when I tested it, it was mounted as D Drive). From there you can change the directory from the fake C Drive to whatever drive letter the SD card will be assigned to.
@@DeckWizard I actually installed the launcher through epic then do the regular setup in desktop mode, as for drive selection I've chosen E: instead of C: since there is where my sd card was. So far it runs pretty well.
Thank you for your support! Install Cover Art - ruclips.net/video/SuP-MtGV1IY/видео.html Timestamped from my WuWa Guide, but the process is exactly the same! Enjoy the game!
When I push the steam button the quick menu doesn't come up for this game? Seems to happen with most non steam games. This issue causes me to have to hold power for a full power down just to start another game
Awesome tutorial! I think Medium settings with an unlimited frame cap is the way to go. Can give above 60 fps and it just feels a lot smoother than high settings. Curious though, I have searched around, but I am wondering if this is possible with Honkai Star Rail?
Unfortunately this method only works with Genshin. Star Rail requires a different method due to the anti cheat, I'll have a guide out for it soon, so please stay tuned!
@@DeckWizard Awesome, thanks! I remember seeing a github project that seemed to be what I was looking for, but never really took the time to give it a try. I have just been streaming it from my PC with Sunshine and it has been pretty great. However, it would be better if I could run it without taking up my PC. Will wait for your guide, thanks again.
Outside of possibly being more convienient, is there any benefit to installing it on steam os vs a windows dual boot partition? Curious if there's any difference in performance or any other factors that would make one more worthwhile than the other
Since zzz its on hoyoplay can i download genshin from there too? Then when i launch ZZZ i can just switch to genshin, Or i have to do theses steps with every hoyo game?
@@rickykarppinen9610 thanks. Apparently the issue was that I launched the game on desktop mode, and this doesn't allow you to open the keyboard on the game. I just launched it on game mode and that fixed it lol.
I can't tell, you label it the zzz launcher but it seems to be the standard hoyo play launcher? So I was wondering, if I could install other hoyo games through this same instance of the launcher like you would on normal windows? Where you can launch all the games from one launcher? (ik that Hsr doesn't work due to anti cheat, and I don't play genshin but I'll use it as an example since it does work on Linux). Or would we have to repeat the process and have a different instance of the launcher to run another hoyo game? (Asking for the hopeful day that HSR can be ran on deck lol)
@@DeckWizard I know about the HRL, but don't wanna use it as it's a third party launcher. Only reason im somewhat comfortable with the idea of zenless and make mention of genshin is because they don't require workarounds. But good to know that essentially I'd need another instance launcher for another hoyo game.
@DeckWizard Thank you mate! I'm still installing it currently, but still have the PS5 if the same scenario happens. Will keep an eye out for more of your videos or any updates 🙏🏼
It probably will, hoyo has been actively not blocking their games from being installed on Linux (steamos is a different version of linux) About 2 years ago genshin used to not run on Linux because they used to actively block wine and now they actively allow it.
these are so helpful omg most of my game downloads come from these tuts, is it possible you could copy and past what exactly is in the target text area? I just cant seem to figure that part out specifically
So I got it installed and I can open up till the login screen but I cannot type my login information. I try pressing Steam button + X and the keyboard does not open up. I thought I had to put it in windowed mode and this brought the keyboard up, but then I can't type in the box. Any suggestions? I also tried this method to install the HoyoPlay launcher instead of just Zenless Zone Zero launcher and it worked, but Zenless Zone Zero opened and Star Rail didn't open.
I was able to input the text by opening the game in gaming mode. Then I could select the textbox and type it in and do the slide to complete puzzle. I was wondering though if you know how to get Star Rail to work on the Steam Deck. I was able to install through installing Hoyoplay Launcher, but it won't open like Zenless does. It just becomes a black screen instead of showing Star Rail login screen. Any suggestions?
I got it to pop up now but on select installation path it says z\home\desk\steam instead of programs files\hoyoplay\games and says I don't got space for the game but it I don't got anything installed on my steam deck just got it
@@DeckWizard Still no luck. I'm running it on CachyOS on my desktop. I might just be missing something. Everything works fine up until I try to actually login. Oh well, I'll just keep testing stuff :)
Did you definitely assign Proton Experimental? Is your SteamOS up to date? Check Settings>System inside of Gaming Mode. Have you restarted to make sure? Hope to hear from you soon
@@DeckWizard ok that makes sense. Either way Zzz is still amazing! Thanks again for the guide! Hopefully they let us play star rail at some point too because that would be great
hello! ive been playing ZZZ on the deck thanks to your guide and it works wonders i noticed that whats installed is actually the HoyoPlay launcher itself would it be possible to use the launcher to install Genshin rather than having to go through the entire process again? i heard that genshin and zzz work fine on steamos and its just HSR's that needs a bit of tweaking because the anticheat isnt supported?
I thought hoyo games generally couldn't be played on steamOS due to the anti cheat not working or something, is this changed with the hoyo launcher? I heard genshin works too now. what I'm getting at is, is there a reason this is safe now compared to before?
I think this just bricked my steam deck… I downloaded the game and when I went to switch over to game mode it crashed. And now it’s stuck on the steam deck icon.
Hello thank you so much for your help, it worked so well! im just curious, can i change the location to my SD card? if so, later the game wont have any problem to update? Thank you so much for your time!
Followed the guide up to the point where you actually need to open the game, when i press play it says that its launching but after a few seconds it stops and goes back to the play button, any idea what the issue could be?
@@icathianPLD We should be only downloading the game via Desktop mode before proceeding to Gaming mode. Please can you try again? I look forward to hearing from you.
@@DeckWizard It worked now! i genuinely have no idea what changed from the last time i tried to download but it worked now!, i really must thank ya for your patience and for making this guide!
Excellent The only problem I had was that I couldn't log in with Google and the account I created yesterday will not be able to be used(At least you don't advance too far in the game and going back to the part you were in won't be difficult)
If I were to guess, it sounds like you launched the launcher and installed the game after using the installation file and skipped changing the shortcut and target at 02:44
It is possible, although this method is much more efficient and user friendly. Based on long term assessment and feedback, Lutris can be intimidating for new users. ❤
Hey, bro, thanks so much for your tutorial. I have installed zzz in windows for steamdeck deck. Is this game running in steam OS much better then windows for steamdeck?
I logged into the game on my Deck this morning and it worked without any issues, but then I put the Deck into sleep mode and picked it back up and the connection timed out. Now every time I launch the game, its telling me that it "failed to obtain server list" and won't let me in now. Anyone else having this issue and know how to fix it? I completely uninstalled the game and removed the launcher and redid the setup from scratch and nothing has worked. I'm gonna be very upset if it just won't work on my Deck now because of something stupid like this.
Check this reddit thread - www.reddit.com/r/ZenlessZoneZero/comments/1duxdzg/failed_to_obtain_server_list/ Apparently it could be due to server overload in your region or an Internet connection issue.. Keep us updated if you can, hope it gets fixed for you
@@DeckWizard Thanks for sharing, I had already come across this thread while I was searching, I'm hoping it fixes itself because deleting everything, launcher included, and starting from scratch didn't solve anything
I was looking at some reddits i seen something about hoyo banning people for playing hoyo games on steam deck, is that true? Said something about game anti cheat
@@chaepica3020 Hey there!, please can you be more specific? Is this when you have downloaded the game and are launching it for the first time? Have you tried restarting the Steam Deck and trying again?
@juliuservin5639 At what point is this happening? The success rate for this guide is Very High and I play ZZZ every day so we need to see if you missed a step.
@@juliuservin5639 Others have done this too, you need to make sure you do those command exactly, otherwise the Hoyo launcher won't appear. Please recheck and try again ❤

Once I press "Get Game" it hits me with "Insufficient disk space."
UPDATE - 5/7/2024 - A new update was just issued for ZZZ, I am pleased to confirm that the game works with 0 issues.
- Launch ZZZ from Gaming Mode and let the client update, then Play Game.
- On the login screen, be patient and let it update, once complete go through to the game as normal. ❤
do i need to do anything to also play star rail or genshin
6/11/2024 - Another new update was issued. Rather than updating it just says there's a new update then boots you upon clicking ok
Thank you for letting me know, I'll get round to testing it as soon as I can. It will likely be the case where we might need to reinstall to resolve this although I'll try to discover a workaround.
Have you tried updating from desktop mode as well as gaming mode?
@DeckWizard On desktop mode it doesn't go through the hoyo launcher so starting the game in the either mode notifies me of an update then closes itself on confirmation.
I wonder if doing the same process but with the hoyo launcher itself could work?
you are the first channel that i have ever seen, begin from start to end with everything on the screen, normal cuts to speed up time. and explain step by step why and how to it on the deck.

Are your game working fine? I have suttering and hitches, no matter settings. It's awful.
Great tutorial. They seriously need to bring HOYO games to Steam. No reason for Epic Games to get these titles and not Steam. The same for Wuthering Waves.
Only my guest epic still offering them money.
They have a deal with Epic games and Sony.
But also their leadership doesn’t see other storefronts and platforms as worthwhile / a priority since they make the bulk of their money from
mobile players.
For anyone that's struggling to launch the launcher installer. Swap to pro 7.0 not experimental. This may help you out.
Yes, this helped, thank you! _(I'm using an LCD SteamDeck)_
Exactly what it was thank you😊
Yes! Managed to get it worked.
Even better if you got ZZZ installed on pc you could just copy the file and find the game on the launcher.
Esp if you’re tight on free space.
I’m copying the zenless game folder into launcher location and putting it into “game” subfolder. It detects automatically when im downloading a patch.
Haven’t tinker with the setting,controller hasn’t work (prolly gonna change it from home screen in game to controller)
This is a solid tutorial!
Really useful how slowly and clearly you explain the steps! so many tutorials rush through things or dont explain what to do!

@@DeckWizard I know about the HRL, but don't wanna use it as it's a third party launcher. Only reason im somewhat comfortable with the idea of zenless and make mention of genshin is because they don't require workarounds. But good to know that essentially I'd need another instance launcher for another hoyo game.
Correct. The honkai method has been around since the game launched and nobody has ever been banned, Linux is too small for them to care.
Let's hope it stays like this and it doesn't end up like WW a few days ago :(
@Kyle-Marxluxia I know right! Hope you enjoy if you install bro, I'll update everything if in case anything changes 💪
@DeckWizard Thank you mate! I'm still installing it currently, but still have the PS5 if the same scenario happens. Will keep an eye out for more of your videos or any updates 🙏🏼
It probably will, hoyo has been actively not blocking their games from being installed on Linux (steamos is a different version of linux)
About 2 years ago genshin used to not run on Linux because they used to actively block wine and now they actively allow it.
I thought it was just my client not loading well. Lol
Apparently, Valve might be working on integrating Android emulator in Steam
these are so helpful omg most of my game downloads come from these tuts, is it possible you could copy and past what exactly is in the target text area? I just cant seem to figure that part out specifically
So I got it installed and I can open up till the login screen but I cannot type my login information. I try pressing Steam button + X and the keyboard does not open up. I thought I had to put it in windowed mode and this brought the keyboard up, but then I can't type in the box. Any suggestions? I also tried this method to install the HoyoPlay launcher instead of just Zenless Zone Zero launcher and it worked, but Zenless Zone Zero opened and Star Rail didn't open.
I was able to input the text by opening the game in gaming mode. Then I could select the textbox and type it in and do the slide to complete puzzle. I was wondering though if you know how to get Star Rail to work on the Steam Deck. I was able to install through installing Hoyoplay Launcher, but it won't open like Zenless does. It just becomes a black screen instead of showing Star Rail login screen. Any suggestions?

Hope you can help me out i did everything up to short cut pasting and cutting then launch it on steam but its not popping up the launcher
Have you made doubly sure the shortcuts are correct?
I didn't do the proton experimental
I got it to pop up now but on select installation path it says z\home\desk\steam instead of programs files\hoyoplay\games and says I don't got space for the game but it I don't got anything installed on my steam deck just got it
You didn't follow the paths correctly 😊 go back and recheck properly, others have made the same mistake so don't worry, you got this! ♥️
Thank you for the guide got it to work
Anyone else getting login issues? Installed and running fine, but just fails to connect at the login screen.
Logging in fine for me, just did my dailies, did you manage to get in OK?
@@DeckWizard Still no luck. I'm running it on CachyOS on my desktop. I might just be missing something. Everything works fine up until I try to actually login. Oh well, I'll just keep testing stuff :)
Did to anyone steam deck factory reset himself? Mine just did deleting everything
Mine got bricked….
I did all the steps but when I click on play prior to the step of doing the quick installation steam says "running" but it won't actually start 😢
Did you definitely assign Proton Experimental?
Is your SteamOS up to date? Check Settings>System inside of Gaming Mode.
Have you restarted to make sure?
Hope to hear from you soon
@@DeckWizardI'll start the process from the beginning and let you know. Thanks for the reply.
@@CL0UDR1DER Okie, my replies may be longer than usual so please bare with me in case you run into an issue.
You got this!
I did all this step on my Lower space steam deck and ran into the not enough space. How can I move everything to my SD card?
Please find and check the comment from "kiby4912" in here ❤
I dont find the hoyoplay file
My only issue is having to play from Desktop mode since it doesn't let me log in with Google on gaming mode lol
Does it retain the login info afterwards?
@DeckWizard When playing in desktop mode yes, entering game mode makes it forget it
I have no audio in the game, does anyone else have a fix for this?
Check the comments, I'm sure someone else had this rare issue.
Thanks for the amazing guide! Question though will star rail work now that we have a dedicated launcher?
Star Rail requires another launcher to run as it uses ACE anti cheat
@@DeckWizard ok that makes sense. Either way Zzz is still amazing! Thanks again for the guide! Hopefully they let us play star rail at some point too because that would be great
@@DjChrisV ZZZ is very fun so far! Please stay tuned as I may revisit the game soon!
hello! ive been playing ZZZ on the deck thanks to your guide and it works wonders
i noticed that whats installed is actually the HoyoPlay launcher itself
would it be possible to use the launcher to install Genshin rather than having to go through the entire process again?
i heard that genshin and zzz work fine on steamos and its just HSR's that needs a bit of tweaking because the anticheat isnt supported?
For Genshin we have to have a separate instance of the HoYo launcher as it installs to a separate prefix folder in compatdata.
Good and cear tutorial.
I thought hoyo games generally couldn't be played on steamOS due to the anti cheat not working or something, is this changed with the hoyo launcher? I heard genshin works too now.
what I'm getting at is, is there a reason this is safe now compared to before?
Genshin has been working for almost 1 and a half years or more without problems and risk of banning in the Deck
any solution for keyboard not showing up at login screen?
Are you trying in Gaming Mode?
Anyone that has issues with pixelation and everything looking blurry and unreadable;
Disable "Half Rate Shading"
• • • > Performance > Half Rate Shading - (Off)
Thank you for sharing ❤️
It keep saying that I don’t have space to do so
Then free up space? Really dude?
I think this just bricked my steam deck… I downloaded the game and when I went to switch over to game mode it crashed. And now it’s stuck on the steam deck icon.
Hold the power button down for 6-10 seconds, release, and then press the power button again.
It factory reset my steam deck when I did that
Hello thank you so much for your help, it worked so well!
im just curious, can i change the location to my SD card? if so, later the game wont have any problem to update?
Thank you so much for your time!
Followed the guide up to the point where you actually need to open the game, when i press play it says that its launching but after a few seconds it stops and goes back to the play button, any idea what the issue could be?
@@icathianPLD Did you download the game in full?
There was a new update just, I updated and the game launched fine with no issues.
@@DeckWizard This issue occurs in steam and not in the actual launcher so i didnt even get to download the game
@@icathianPLD We should be only downloading the game via Desktop mode before proceeding to Gaming mode.
Please can you try again? I look forward to hearing from you.
@@DeckWizard It worked now! i genuinely have no idea what changed from the last time i tried to download but it worked now!, i really must thank ya for your patience and for making this guide!
@icathianPLD That's great news!! Thanks so much for letting me know, enjoy the game and stay tuned for more videos! ❤️
Excellent
The only problem I had was that I couldn't log in with Google and the account I created yesterday will not be able to be used(At least you don't advance too far in the game and going back to the part you were in won't be difficult)
Please tell me how to install the game on an SD card?
Yes, please find and check the comment from "kiby4912" in here ❤
Doesn't work for me i have more than 110 GB, and the installed says it detects 0kb of free space
You skipped the change shortcut part in the guide 😊
Can i use the same method for Genshin?
It tells me "get game" but didnt we already install it?
If I were to guess, it sounds like you launched the launcher and installed the game after using the installation file and skipped changing the shortcut and target at 02:44
Yup thats exactly what happened. I got to do it again and it worked@@DeckWizard
It is possible to use Lutris for that?
It is possible, although this method is much more efficient and user friendly.
Based on long term assessment and feedback, Lutris can be intimidating for new users. ❤
Does anyone know how to uninstall ZZZ on Steam Deck?
Just got a Steam Deck but it's only the 56gb version. I have a 1tb SD card, am I still able to download ZZZ?
Yes you can, please check the comments there are several users that have provided instructions for SD Card which can be adapted with this guide.
@@DeckWizard thank you!
Hey, bro, thanks so much for your tutorial. I have installed zzz in windows for steamdeck deck. Is this game running in steam OS much better then windows for steamdeck?
SteamOS it runs perfectly fine 🙂
I logged into the game on my Deck this morning and it worked without any issues, but then I put the Deck into sleep mode and picked it back up and the connection timed out. Now every time I launch the game, its telling me that it "failed to obtain server list" and won't let me in now. Anyone else having this issue and know how to fix it? I completely uninstalled the game and removed the launcher and redid the setup from scratch and nothing has worked. I'm gonna be very upset if it just won't work on my Deck now because of something stupid like this.
Does it work on other devices?
Check this reddit thread - www.reddit.com/r/ZenlessZoneZero/comments/1duxdzg/failed_to_obtain_server_list/
Apparently it could be due to server overload in your region or an Internet connection issue..
Keep us updated if you can, hope it gets fixed for you
@@DeckWizard I was able to connect on my phone no problem so I'm not 100% convinced its a server issue
@@DeckWizard Thanks for sharing, I had already come across this thread while I was searching, I'm hoping it fixes itself because deleting everything, launcher included, and starting from scratch didn't solve anything
I was looking at some reddits i seen something about hoyo banning people for playing hoyo games on steam deck, is that true? Said something about game anti cheat
@jmiranda2920 The user base is too small for HoYo to care and it's possible to play across all 3 games ❤️
After run non stop loading with "Waiting"....
@@chaepica3020 Hey there!, please can you be more specific? Is this when you have downloaded the game and are launching it for the first time?
Have you tried restarting the Steam Deck and trying again?
@@DeckWizard sry, already launched, all good. Reboot help
@@chaepica3020 Thank you for confirming! Enjoy the game!
My game is very pixelated, compared to your game, I tried changing resolutions via steam launcher and in game as well but didn't work
Did you manage to resolve this issue?
Make sure Half Rate Shading setting in SteamOS’s performance settings is off. Should be under the refresh rate slider!
I've done everything right,
but the game won't run. The hoyo launcher
@juliuservin5639 At what point is this happening? The success rate for this guide is Very High and I play ZZZ every day so we need to see if you missed a step.
It happens around 3:52
@@juliuservin5639 Others have done this too, you need to make sure you do those command exactly, otherwise the Hoyo launcher won't appear.
Please recheck and try again ❤
Is it possible to install Genshin Impact through that same HoyoPlay launcher?
Yes that's right!
Could you make a video of how to install solo leveling too?
@@Weynn I still need to watch the Anime, I've been saving it 😊 I'll put SL on the list, thank you!
@@DeckWizard the game is even better than the anime lol.
