    Proteus

    Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Jan 30, 2013

    In Proteus, the player awakens in the sea off the shore of a peaceful island, and simply explores the island in different seasons, enjoying the procedurally-generated sights, the way their surroundings shape the low-key soundtrack, and the simple graphical style.

    Proteus is pretty sweet.

    Yeah I really love the tunes it creates while you explore, I got the standard version but now listening to it I'm tempted to get that artifact version (pretty much a sort of collectors edition) just for the OST. 

    Pardon for the iffy FPS, it plays a lot better than that but recording game footage with fraps on a crappy laptop is never a good thing.
      

      not that much to do though, but for 7,50 I recommend everyone to give it a try.

    What do you do in it? Just walk around and explore? How do the landscapes vary?

    @mandude: Yeah you pretty much just walk around and explore, the landscape does vary, specially when the seasons change, but the real meat of it I think is the music and sounds and how it all reacts to your exploration, also the wind waker eske graphics look great.
     
    This is what I would call a chill out game.

    Sounds like something I'd be into. I'll be sure to give this a shot. Not sure why these kinds of games appeal to me, but I guess they do.

    Looks cool, but I think it'd have to have more gameplay than just walking around. Exploring minecraft is a huge part of that game, but there's an incentive to do so.

    I take it all back, what I said two replies up, I've played about 50 minutes. It's fantastic.
