"Think Doom meets Brian Eno". Though entirely playful, this press release line goes a long way to explaining the simplicity and beauty of Proteus. It’s a mystical island that transforms with every visit. An open exploration led through audio and visual clues, where all the common gameplay tropes are amiss. There are no guns, health bars or skill trees. All interaction takes place instinctively and via your very presence in an area. This is all carefully coated in sublime audio design.
Limited Run Games has announced that Proteus will get a physical PS Vita release on January 18, 2019.
Because you deserve an upgrade.

PT is still my sentimental fave. To think it was just a proof of concept demo. Why'd I delete it
Proteus was too boring for me to handle. I did platinum Rapture though. Soma I will definitely try if it's free on PS+ one day. Read good things. Last I checked it was still a bit expensive though. Same thing kept me away from Gone Home 'til it was free on Plus. $19.99's a bit steep for walking simulators imo.
I'm surprised Everyones gone to the Rapture wasnt here.
Edit: wait, it is there
Why not call it exploration simulators, walking simulator sounds like a jab at something that's boring and uninteresting, stealth games= crawling simulators ?
