Hello folks,

confirming.

It seems the game is specifically built for Windows 7 or later.

It expects Minwin 'kernelbase.dll' already mapped by 'kernel32.dll' core dll.
Traditional core dlls (except ntdll) forward their calls to Minwin (Minimal
Windows kernel) dlls.

As an aside, for those of you wondering, a lot of the MinWin magic happens in
KernelBase.dll. It contains a lot of the functionality that was refactored from
Kernel32.dll, so for compatibility with older programs, they left “forwarders”
in there that pass the calls down to KernelBase.dll as necessary.

Unfortunately Wine does it the other way around.
