    Of course! If it has an installer, run it through Bottles first.

    • Mount the ISO file in KDE/GNOME
    • Create a new bottle in Bottles
    • Open the bottle and select the executable on the mounted ISO to start
    • When choosing an install directory, install to the Z: drive if possible so you don’t have to look for the files in your Bottles prefix
    • Follow the installer normally

    Once done, you can either start the game directly in Bottles or create a non-Steam shortcut in Steam and select the exe of the game you just installed.

    I prefer running it through Steam because then I always have access to the latest Proton versions.

    Didn’t try FF7 but played Alan Wake 2 like this.

      I’ve also noticed that for some repacks it is better to use a different runner to install and then switch to a gaming runner for running the game.
