Proteus Proteus is a game about exploration and immersion in a dream-like island world where the soundtrack to your play is created by your surroundings. Played in first-person, the primary means of interaction is simply your presence in the world and how you observe it. The Proteus Design Suite is widely used across various industry sectors as a cost effective solution for professional PCB design and as a rapid prototyping tool for R&D. Virtual Prototyping enables system Testing before the first physical PCB is ordered. Shape based autorouting as standard saves time with non-critical routing. Download Proteus - Proteus is a great electrical suite for circuit simulation purposes. You can simulate a single processor or multiple ones at the same time. The application is a great alternative for Virtual System Modelling.

ABOUT

Play as a German Shepherd named Pluto and explore the enchanted climates of planet Earth and the asteroid 433 Eros. Visit an Arctic Ocean wind farm, Kochiri Forest, a computer OS, a cluttered desk, a union-busting prairie in Kansas, a private jet, a flooded city at the North Pole, and many more fevered landscapes.

Written, assembled, and with an original score by David Kanaga, composer of Proteus, Panoramical and Dyad, Oikospiel's soundtrack is '100 percent intertwined with the game' (PC Gamer), featuring a lush variety of interactive musical experiences woven together into an operatic whole.

BACKSTORY

The Oikospielen Opera is developing an epic global-gaming festival called THE GEOSPIEL, scheduled for the year 2100. The opera's employees, organized by the Union of Animal Workers, are trying to integrate the game dev dogs of Koch Games into their group, but these loyal pups love their jobs and boss Donkey Koch too much! Will there be Unity, or will Multiplicity prevail? Money has awakened-- Pluto has captured the spirit of Orpheus, and Eurydice is lead composer in this operatic RE-FORM of the Adventure Game genre.
