1. Copy the redist folder from the Steam\steamapps\common\penumbra overture directory anywhere on your linux system.
Default: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\penumbra overture
The redist folder contains the actual Penumbra binaries and resources that the game uses.
2. Download and run the Penumbra: Overture Linux Patch, pointing the installer to the location where you placed your Penumbra: Overture installation.

As of this writing patch version is 1.1. This will get you the current Linux libraries to install into the copied redist folder.
3. Download the Linux binary and extract it to the Penumbra: Overture directory where you installed the patch.

Use the penumbra.bin file.
NOTE: If you don't use that binary you will encounter a failure to launch the game where it will ask you for a serial number.
This may also work with the other Penumbra games, however, I haven't downloaded them yet to test.

For Black Plague and Requiem you can follow the same basic steps but will also need to borrow the shell script for launching Penumbra from the Overture.
Copy it to the Black Plague and Requiem directory, twice...edit each to launch the particular binary (.bin) for the game you want the script to run.
