I think minigalaxy might be your answer

That's for Linux. I want something for Windows.
... you posted this in the linux gaming community.
I'm using bottles
There's some context missing here. Why prefer bottles over a native client? You can still run the game in bottles right?
I'm Lazy
Still not following. Native clients are easier. A lazy person would be delighted!
Yup. I'm lazy, and Heroic makes things incredibly easy. I just install Heroic, login to GOG, and then play games. Not sure how much easier it can get than that.
Ok I'll bite. What the fresh hell are you doing running bottles on windows?
I'm not running Bottles under Windows. I'm running it on Linux and the environment it creates runs Windows software. I don't want the headache of tweaking it so I want everything to just work in inside the wine prefix created by Bottles.
I created a new prefix a while back and when I installed GOG everything just worked. I'm looking for a Windows game launcher that can replace GOG running in bottles.
I understand completely now. I don't have the answer for you but I use minigalaxy (running natively on Linux) which can download and launch games using wine tricks. I don't have an answer for the cloud save though
Then ads well disserved
