[SOLVED] Error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1

I wanted to play a game that I installed some time ago.
Title is Deponia.
I was able to run it from desktop shortcut (I use XFCE).

I did only one run of this game after installation to check if it is working. It worked then (long time ago), but currently I get an error:

./start.sh 
Running Deponia
./Deponia: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It looks like the player crashed! If you need support, please include the
contents of the log file in your problem report.
Unfortunately, no log file has been created!

I always do update of official packages and AUR packages in the same time.

Deponia was installed from GOG's installation sh script and not from AUR.
I tried to find libopenal.so.1 in my system. It's only in Steam connected directories and lutris directories.

Is this error mean that official Deponia installes is not up to date?

From AUR I have only:

auto-cpufreq
crunch
czkawka-gui-bin
deadbeef
downgrade
dxvk-bin
inxi
libdispatch
libopenaptx
mint-themes
nordvpn-bin
per
pikaur
qogir-icon-theme
skypeforlinux-stable-bin
timeshift
ttf-ms-fonts
virtualbox-ext-oracle
zoom

openal is in the repositories, did you install it?  openal and lib32-openal respectively.

Ach...
Of course not.
I've been looking for libopenal and libopenal.so.1 but not for openal. And openal was enough. I didn't even need to install lib32 version.
