I couldn't make Wine work for this in time yesterday and I got tired and went to bed. I hope I can at least catch the last night of the gamenight.
Here's what I get running Wine:

Failed to load libEGL.so.1 looks relevant but I can't find a lot of info on "libegl".
If it matters, the distro is Devuan (un-systemdicked Debian) and I installed winehq-devel following these instructions ( https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Debian-Ubuntu ) rather than installing Wine from the Devuan repos. And I'm on integrated Intel graphics.
Wine worked for Touhou and a random old Nip 3D game.
