After installing the demo (using the Linux .sh file from GOG) it didn't load the game when the icon was clicked.

When I looked at the system logs, this error is there.

Running Craftomation 101 Demo

---------------------------------------

./Craftomation101/Craftomation101.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

---------------------------------------


Not sure if libopenal.so.1 is supposed to come packaged with the game demo or others have downloaded it as a separate package from their repositories. Searrching the file name does show people solving other games not having it by installing it themselves but they aren't dated this year and there are different versions of the file so... not feeling too adventurous tonight.


Computer Info

The libopenal.so.1 file is from libxrandr2 - it's installed and up to date on my system. Windows version with Wine or Proton is also crushing.
