Install Steam for windows, and remember to add the '-no-dwrite' option when you run it, or else you won't be able to see any text. Download the game.
In the directory where the game is now installed, cd to _CommonRedist/vcredist/2013, open the file named installscript.vdf and erase all contents. This stops the game from trying(and failing) to install visual c++ when you try to run it. Then manually install the vcrun2013 dll using the newest version of winetricks.
I haven't stumbled upon any bugs... yet. I hope this works for you as well as it did for me. I also hope that a native linux version gets released at some point...

Wow! You, sir are impressive. That is crazy what you had to do to figure it out. I'm glad you got the game running. And glad there's a game to run at all. And just glad. Overall, I'd say im glad.
