Beautiful and relaxing, but there's really not much to see or do. Only takes about an hour to finish, and has no save state. I still enjoyed taking a short walk in a world that's more peaceful than our own (Or is it? There are gravestones after all...) Worth trying on sale to experience an important piece of indie game history.
Played at launch on ps3/vita, playing right now on an old crt and it's beautiful. Is the game barebones? yeah, If you hate walking sims avoid for sure. That being said the ost is not only great but extremely dynamic(more so than any game I can think of) the visuals are minimalistic yet timelessly nostalgic, there's so many little events to see and it's just extremely chill. It's not the ultimate game but if I had to argue video games as an artform I'd probably bring up proteus and that's probably the most succinct way I can explain how I feel about this game...
