Error: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime
There is a chance that when trying to run the game for the first time you might encounter an error message saying:
"The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ "
To deal with this you need to install Visual Studio component from official microsoft site: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
When you go to this site scroll down to the tab Other Tools, Frameworks, and Redistribution and choose the first downloadable file 
After installing this package (VC_redist.x64.exe) the game should run!

Unfortunately this makes it very hard to launch the game on Linux, any tips for that ? Love the look of this.
It didn't work for me on Linux with newer Wine versions, but I could launch the game with this Lutris version of Wine 7.1 (downloaded from here: https://github.com/lutris/wine/releases/tag/lutris-7.1). Just download and unpack wine-lutris-7.1-x86_64.tar.xz, go to the "bin" directory, and launch the game with:
./wine PATH_TO_GAME_DIR/Windows/LastDays.exe
(Of course, you should write the correct path to this game's directory instead of PATH_TO_GAME_DIR)
Edit: I installed the required Visual C++ runtime of course.
Thanks, I'll look into it when I have the time! Cheers!
Ugh... I'm like a total linux noob, how do you install vc++ runtime on that wine version ?
You can install to your default Wine (.wine directory in your HOME directory) by simply running:
It should be working by installing it to the default wine directory and using the downloaded wine 7.1 to run the game. If it's not working, then you can create a new (clean) Wine directory by a WINEPREFIX if you want. For example, this creates a directory named wine7.1 in your home directory and installs the visual runtime stuff there:
Then, you can use the downloaded lutris wine 7.1 with that new wine7.1 directory by using the WINEPREFIX path before the wine command:
Of course, you need to write the correct paths to the PATH_TO... stuff.
I suggest looking up Lutris, it's a GUI program and you can set up Games and other programs with it. It might be easier for you if you are not familiar with the command line (terminal). I'm not using the Lutris program, so I can't help with that, but you can find plenty of tutorials on YouTube and/or Reddit.
I tried with Lutris but couldn't access the winetricks menu...
Bah I give up for now, thanks a lot for your time and inputs.
