 a live ebuild so you have to unmask it in your system portage config

+** vintage story
 install =games-action/vintage-story= for the voxel sandbox survival game
 [[https://www.vintagestory.at/][Vintage Story]]. currently the package is not
 very well tested and also is amd64 only. if you find a bug tell me
 
+** blue prince
+install =games-puzzle/blue-prince= for the roguelike puzzle game
+[[https://blueprincegame.com/][Blue Prince]]. needs unmasking and also needs
+you to provide a cracked copy of the windows game files (ask me for a magnet
+link ^_^). the advantage of my crappy ebuild is that it conveniently sets up
+a wineprefix for you according to what i found is necessary for it to run well,
+plus it creates a desktop entry to launch the game from your desktop
+environment.
+
+if you're trying to install it and it's giving you checksum errors just pass
+=--digest= to emerge, that will make it ignore the manifest file. the checksum
+in the manifest file is for my copy but depending on where you got your copy
+it may well be different. this is fine though you can probably just ignore it!!
+
+in the future i might try to make a fancy linux-native repack of this game,
+since it just uses unity engine and a few fairly common-looking plugins. watch
+this space :3
