You will enter the game name, for the example of this, I am going to use [Slapshot Rebound](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1173370/Slapshot_Rebound/).

`Choose the game's native platform`, choose Windows for this.

For the game's directory, click `Browse` and it should have saved where we were last, if not, navigate here `(Your User)/Library/Containers/Mythic/Bottles/(Your Bottle Name)/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/(Your Game)/(Your Game's EXE file)` then `Open`

**`Your Name` = your computer name**

**`Your Bottle Name` = the name of your bottle**

**`Your Game's EXE file` = the actual game `exe` (`SlapshotRebound.exe`)**

Then press `Done` when you're back in the import menu.

Now you can locate your game in the library and it will open seamlessly and show up on your Steam profile.
