Atlantis II Beyond Atlantis

I am trying to install this old game from GOG to my Steamdeck. Simply nothing happens and I have NO idea where to start with the tweaking. ProtonDB says this should work but no words from the GOG version. What should I do? Where do I start? Thanks and sorry for being a newbie

Prefer System Libraries

, also use

you should delete the prefix folder when you change from Proton-GE to Wine-GE, they use a different file structure for the prefix
