Proteus release date announced as 30 January - slip on your sonic shoes

Despite the sheer expanse open to be traversed, it's the music of Proteus that is most affecting. It's made up of multiple individual stems, each representative of different world elements - rain, trees, time of day, etc - and so each builds and adds upon one another to create an orchestra of nature. As you walk about the world you have this symphony accompany your movements and your discoveries.

A close companion is thechineseroom's Dear Esther, it has that same sense of reserved discovery; there are no threats in this world, there is no definitive story, it is all about crafting an environment that encourages us to respond to what we experience.

For $7.50 it's a steal.
