I've played thousands of games, and this is my favorite. Right now the steam version isn't loading past the title menu. I miss playing this, please repair your masterpiece.
Seems like a neat game, don't recommend it though. Can't turn the music down. Only a Master Volume slider in the options. I'm extremely unsatisfied so far with the ambient sound levels in comparison to the music, at the start it was lovely then I got ear blasted by 90% highs. Speaking of, the music is primarily; from what I've heard, extremely high notes. I don't want to mute the game and just walk around in silence, and I can't be bothered to just put on an ambient YouTube video for sound. This should be a base game function. I considered deleting the music files from the folders or editing the volume to be less prominent but, that seems way too tedious. [b] My ears hurt playing this. [/b] Not sure why a simple Music and Ambience volume slider isn't included in the options. That's basic video games these days. I wouldn't play it if you have ears sensitive to certain frequencies, I would steer clear until further notice. Huge shame.

Interesting visual and auditory styled exploration game that's good to have in the background during a trip. Would love to see what the devs have been working on since! [Have more hours on PS3...]
this gmae is so muchn fun to play high
WARNING: You may want to avoid this game as it fails to run on a lot of systems now. I played this back in the day and thought it was interesting, but played it for 40 minutes before uninstalling it lol Now, I can't even get the game to work. I click on the mountain on the main menu (which took me a moment to realize to do) and it just fades to black before either crashing or just staying there for minutes then giving an error. I've tried Steam guides and internet search solutions, and nothing has come to fix it for me yet. Not sure if this will ever get fixed, either.
Amazing high vibrational game. Like pouring warm soup on your soul. Or like getting into a bathtub of beautiful soup. It's like eating a bowl of beautiful soup. The soundtrack is gorgeous and reactive, the visuals are perfectly minimal but also perfectly tuned, and the colors are wonderful. I've sat down with Proteus multiple times and still discover new surprises each time. This game feels so observational- it really does mirror the experience of taking a walk in the real world in a way that feels so aspirational as an artist and so engaging as a player.
The best first person shooter I've ever played.
This isn't a typical game, but I do really like it. It feels like going on a nature walk except every trail is different. Good game for people who like exploring. This game also helps me relax and go to sleep if I had a long day.
Still delightful all these years later
