Horses of Hoofprint Bay on Steam Deck

Valve rates it Playable, not Verified. A native Linux build exists, SteamOS is in the official system list, and the store does not declare native controller support.

Riding-lesson key prompts from the official Steam screenshots

The Deck compatibility notes I used say the default controller layout does not cover every action, the button icons do not match the Deck, and text fields do not open the keyboard by themselves. On the plus side, interface text is readable and the default settings are described as running fine. Steam Cloud is listed for the game.

HowToVideoGame suggests using the trackpads as a mouse, a trigger as the click, and mapping Space and Esc. Riding lessons use several keys, and the settings include auto-jump. I am not publishing a frame-rate number because nobody official measured one in a place I could cite.

Questions

Is the demo on Deck too?

The demo lists Linux, so SteamOS can install that build. I do not have a separate Deck badge for the demo.
