"Proteus is an audio-visual exploration and discovery game developed by Ed Key and David Kanaga.
In 2011, Proteus won Best Audio at Indiecade 2011, and in 2012, was a finalist for the Nuovo Award at the 2012 Independent Games Festival.
Interested gamers can pick up Proteus from the official website, for $10. The purchase gets buyers the game, a Steam key, and the EP: “Nodeland Dreams and Memories”. The official site promises a Linux version and Proteus’ soundtrack coming for buyers later this year, as well." - Tom Christiansen
These aren’t nostalgia grabs or gimmick-laden throwbacks. They each bring something genuinely fresh to the table, mechanics that feel baked into the exploration and combat, not just tacked on.
Play as Dik, a nimble acrobat exploring the depths of Hell to rescue his brother from the Devil’s hands. With no weapons to rely on, success hinges on mastery of physics-driven movement, and quick adaptation to deadly obstacles.
GDC 2025 has revealed the finalists for the 27th annual Independent Games Festival (IGF).
