Symptoms
Episode 4 (appid 94520) specifically does not render correctly, but the other episodes do.
Comparison images between episode 3 (appid 94510) and episode 4 (appid 94520):
As the camera moves away from characters, they become darker in appearance which also produces noticeable triangular artefacts. Other surfaces e.g. in the initial main menu background also don't render correctly.
Tested on both AMDGPU and Radeon kernel drivers, both produce the same results.
Reproduction
Simply playing the game.

Research direction
Start by reproducing Back to the Future: Ep 4 (Steam AppID 94520) with Proton 3.7-8 and compare its rendering with Episode 3 (AppID 94510), focusing on the darkened characters, triangular artefacts, and menu surfaces. Check whether the behavior remains with the reported AMDGPU and Radeon drivers; done means Episode 4 renders correctly without those artefacts.
