I'm sorry to hear that! I'm not super familiar with Linux, but from what I can tell, the newest version of Ren'py, which I wrote this on no longer has support for the version of Linux you're running.
This release adds support for the 64-bit ARM Linux (linux-aarch64) platform. While based on Ubuntu 20.04, this has been tested on Chromebooks, and should also work on the 64-bit ARM platform.
The intended way to run Ren'Py games on ARM Linux would be to download the new ARM Linux SDK package, place the game in the projects directory, and use that to launch the game. If the files from the ARM Linux SDK are present when a Linux distribution is made, they will be included, creating a game that can be launched on ARM, but this is not the default, for size reasons.
With the move to Ren'Py 8, we are removing support for the following platforms:
32-bit x86 Windows (i686)
32-bit x86 Linux (i686)
This reflects the obsolescence of 32-bit x86 computing. These platforms remain supported by Ren'Py 7.5, but will not be supported by Ren'Py 8."
I have uploaded a version specifically for Linux, but if that doesn't work either I don't think there's anything I can do about it, unfortunately. My apolgies for that.

Great game, well done!
Thank you!
I cannot start the game,
py2-linux-i686 export is missing.

Why are you using Ren'Py 8?
I have loaded more than 100 Ren'Py games in the past 3 years they work fine on my system. So I still have enough to play ;-)
I'm using MX-15 Debian Jessie 32 bit and it will stay that way.
Kind regards
