Attention everyone: Proteus is my new favorite game.
You may remember this game as Crazy Atari Graphic Style First Person Game from my little shpiel on the PBS video The Creativity of Indie Games. For a preview of this game, watch that video, as there are clips of it throughout. Not to mention a bunch of other games I plan on trying.
Proteus is a game I would like to go on and on about. But I would rather you play the game, and come talk to me, and then we can both go on and on about it. For now I'll mention some facts: It is available here, for $10. I suggest you buy it. It plays Mac and PC and Xbox 360 and is available on steam.
Here's a picture:
The first impression I had was one of relief when I realized nothing in this game is trying to kill me.
It is a first person game, and Jaconian: You will be happy to hear that you can invert the Y axis. Generally, the menus are minimalist, so I am glad they included this little option. The controls can be a little slippery, so I hope it doesn't trigger motion sickness.
Here's another pic:
If you go to the website for the game, you can download it. You can also read all sorts of acclaim for Proteus. It's all true, but I think, rather then spending your time reading that, you should just buy it, play it, get your significant other to play it, if you have one.
I think you could probably buy this game as a valentines present and get away with it. More pics:
I've put in about two hours, and I'd like to put in some more.
I want to also mention that this game does an excellent job of mixing the music, sounds and graphics together. If I had to sum up the effect in one word it would be: Pleasant. I think this game might be a really good winter time game, and there's not much winter time left, so download it now. Thanks. And you're welcome!
