I can't help you myself, but you could tell us what Linux distro you are using and version you are using.
Also whether you know your way around Lutris and Steam.

If you have the game as an EXE file, you can install it the same way as any other EXE file using Wine. If you don't have the EXE file and are looking for it, you might need to ask the developer or search for it on Google.
When it comes to using Wine, the process for installing EXE files is generally the same.
If you want to roll back to an older version of the game on Steam, you will need to perform an update rollback, but it's not that easy. Here's a detailed guide to help you with that process:
