Installer will no longer run with this script, but if I install it as an unlisted program it installs just fine.

Problem with invisible characters with eyes ball. I have to repeatedly run the game until they see the characters. No hint regarding invisible characters helped.

1) With Wine v.1.7.6 after some minutes og playing, sound being distorted, constantly audio underrun issues (in debug log were errors "err:alsa:wine_snd_pcm_recover underrun occurred"). After some googling, I found this Wine bug https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35852 , and this https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10495 . In comment of latest, I found solution - installed Wine 1.7.52-staging (with experimental PulseAudio support patches I guess), and played most of game with it. No more suffered sound underrun.

2) There was problem with puppeteer-lines and missing models, as described here https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26114&iTestingId=89846. Workaround ibidem.

Serious graphical glitches, sticky / stuck key controls, and randomly glitchy audio. The first is the most serious, causing stretched polygons to randomly potrude from character models to screen edges in a way reminiscent or shadows or 'pupeteer strings'. Switching to another virtual terminal and then back again has a small chance to temporarily correct the problem.
