dirtyharry50: This looks really neat. My first thought, just jokingly, was where are the bad guys? Who do I shoot around here? lol

Really though, watching the videos on Steam makes me want to try it but I am wondering what the heck do you do besides wander around taking it all in? Is there some point to it, some goal to pursue, some puzzle to unravel or something? If it is possible to do a playthrough which I guess means there is some ending to this, I am very curious about what else the gameplay involves.

amok: There is things to do, even though you never interact with anything. Your presence at certain times (day-night cycle or the 4 seasons) triggers events. There are also lots of more or less hidden things to find, and since each playthrough is random there are events which will only happen at some playthroughs. if it makes any sense.

The aim of the "game" is exploring, but it is a exploration based as much on sound as visuals. You discover and create sounds scapes as you move around.

There is also a sort of end-game or an ending you can trigger, but I do not want to say anything about it :), except it is very open to interpretation.

So yes, interactive art more than a game. Beautiful piece though, and I think well worth the money.
Thanks for more info about it. It does sound like something I would enjoy. I'm open to new experiences in entertainment and I like exploring and seeing a world in a game. I wishlisted this for now on Steam.

I was actually showing the game off on Skype to a close fiend when I activated the ending.

To say the least, it was entirely unexpected, and made me think for a bit.

According to the forums, the developer is planning on adding more content, but nothing is set in stone.

You have to wonder if this relation between designer and composer could lead to something even beyond what C418 and Notch had.

Overthinking on the meaning of the game's name, with it meaning fiirstborn and considering how the game always opens, it gave to that obvious idea; but also considering the idea that Proteus was an early Greek god of the sea, it brings more thoughts.
