Well I found out interesting thing. The website has this text

"Does the Game Crash when you start it?

If the game crashes upon starting it, this is most likely due to that it
displays the window in a font that is too big for your your desktop. You can
solve this by creating a shortcut to the game (right-click and select “create
shortcut”), on the shortcut you can then adjust the font size to a smaller one
by right-clicking the shortcut, select “properties” and then select the “font”
tab and do your adjustments."

I don't know if it's related at all.

But I tried to double click the exe and it starts with no issues from dolphin.

There is some bug with focht analyze that wine handles exe differently if they
are started from console or file manager/something similar.

backtrace from WINE 1.9.3, game started via terminal

After reading the comments about the game working when double-clicking on the
executable I decided to test this on Wine 1.9.3 compiled from source, Mint
17.3.

With the Windows XP version of The Ground Gives Way, I was able to double-click
the exectuable and I saw the game's main menu.

Using the terminal command "wine The_Ground_Gives_Way.exe" I had a crash on
launch and the backtrace is from when I tried to run the game via terminal.

WINE 1.9.3 compiled from source, gcc is gcc 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.1

The crash happens at pdcurses?

Backtrace:
=>0 0x10006c38 in pdcurses (+0x6c38) (0x0032fd74)

pdcurses is somekind of layer between console/x11 multiplatform. The game has
pdcurses.dll in it's directory.

Terminal output & backtrace Wine 1.9.13

Still in issue in Wine 1.9.13. I have edited the title to make it more clear as
to where the issue lies.

The game works when double clicking on the executable like one would a Windows
application.
