Whoo, author, I have translated your game with translator++, and the result is that it cannot be used. I thought it was translated to the code at first, and then I guided it in without translating and exporting it. What's going on here? Mainly can not understand there is no Chinese version. I will go and play by myself.thanks author
Thanks for replying! Kinda sucks to hear, but completely understandable. While bondage is fun I imagine it's not very high up on the list of kinks for the game.
I did a mistake during the Oracle visit I moved to Stone in a stuck location now the Stone is unmovable and I cannot continue the quest hens cannot continue the game and now I am stuck in a level and mistakenly saved after all that mess I am stuck good
I don't know what to do in the Rock King's dungeon. At the beginning I run past the rock dudes throwing bombs then I'm stuck in the next room. I pull the lever to show the bomb but nothing I click on does anything and I've clicked on every tile in that room.
The clicking is probably the problem. Try pushing the bomb using your keyboard, and detonating it with the action key.
The game is designed to be played with a keyboard; you can play *most* of it with mouse clicks, but for some things - particularly puzzles - you need a keyboard.
is there a game guide? I'm having trouble finding the 4 winds, love the game it's absolutely amazing! this could be 100% without H scenes and I would still love it
Glad you like it! There aren't any guides, I'm afraid. Only 2 of the winds are in game as of 10.0 - the first one is in Cape Hope and the second is in Plains End.
Bug Report: At the Oracle, there are pushing block puzzles that let you hold Accept to move something backwards. If you are using a controller, the game doesn't seem to "get" it and I thought I was in a softlock since I couldn't move, but if I moved over to keyboard it would let me move again. Playing 10.0.4.
Thanks for the report! Controllers aren't officially supported, but I'll probably try to add controller support in the future. It's still not intended behavior - I'll look into it!
You're welcome! I assumed controllers weren't supported since some minigames use specific keys on the keyboard (the block pushing puzzles use "r", for instance), but I still prefer using a controller as long as the game mostly works with it. Also, a really, really tiny bug;
That spot where Alex is standing is a warp spot to the other Shoreline map. If I come to this map from the cave, for some reason it doesn't work, but the one below it does. If I enter the map from another location, both exit tiles work. This doesn't hamper the game in any way (just push down to get to the next map), but I thought you'd want to know.
Please tell me there are plans to allow for combat animations and such to be speed up. I enjoy the game and the fact that abilities and stats are tied to story elements not monsters killed but I still feel like I'm spending a lot of time just waiting for animations to play for the 100th time and think it would be a nice QOL improvement to be able to speed that up like you can with dialogue.
It's on my to-do list, but it's a complicated problem. None of the off-the-shelf plugins that do that work for my game, probably because I have so much custom code in abilities, states and such. Figuring out how to make that happen will probably be a big project. It's one I plan to get to eventually, but I don't know when it'll happen. It's not a huge priority right now since combat is a relatively small part of the game.
I really REALLY hope that later on in the story there is an option to at least get a small chance to change your avatar only to be tricked and end up with your real world sized twig-and-giggleberries (tiny member), and all that it implies about you as the man you once were. haha
While some of the H-scenes occasionally play around with humiliation as a theme, on the whole this game is pretty much the opposite of "dark." You're not going to see any scenes where Alex (or anyone else) are seriously and in an un-fun way humiliated/degraded/etc.
I do like some of the darker TFGS-type games, but The Proteus Effect is definitely not one of those kind of games.
For the record, the PC isn't necessarily poorly endowed IRL. You set that in one of the early H-scenes, and while "tiny" is one of the options, it certainly isn't the only one.
Maybe one of the scenes will see Alex temporarily become a futa, though. Could be interesting.
Hello there! I love the premise of the game, however I can't get it to launch on my VR headset. I've launched steam VR and even used it to launch it, but it just loads up on my monitor not in my VR headset. Any idea why it wont launch?
It's not an actual VR game, so you can't play it on an oculus or whatever. It's about VR, which is why I tagged it that way a long time ago. I should probably change that.
I don’t think you have a bug. The two extra bombs are in “normal mode”, and you are apparently playing on “hard mode”. You can switch the dungeon’s mode using the torch at the end of Kobold Town.
It’s still possible without those two extra bombs, btw.
As of now, no. I may add certain special benefits later for players who complete all dungeons on the most difficult setting available (the other dungeons thus far have easy-normal modes, The Dark Pits has normal-hard modes.)
hey also, i have been searching for a walkthrough and i found something till version 6.1. It says that before leaving to kill the stone overseer, if you drink coffee then you wake up at night for some extra scenes with Val. it also mentioned a paper "while going towards the registration office" which shows a slime at the hole near the dragon's cave. How exactly can i access that?
Drinking coffee and then going to sleep is one way to access nighttime guild hall scenes (assuming you have the other prerequisite H-scenes) - an alarm clock one of the kobolds gives you after beating The Dark Pits is another.
The Slimy Note is no longer in game. It was basically there to test out some combat-related stuff I was working on at the time.
XP and levels isn't actually a mechanic I use in the game; you grow in power by completing quests and story events or by getting equipment (that comes through quest and story events.) I didn't use XP because I didn't want to incentivize or require repetitive, boring combat (grinding.)
I removed the level indicator in 0.9 to help eliminate confusion about this, but it's not publicly released yet.
Cool Thanks. I do have to say that I'm really digging the game! And Thank you for adding in the name change option!!! The story is a hilarious twist from normal RPG games. I think you have done a great job. The imagery is fantastic, but have you thought about making those scenes animated?
Is it possible to skip the start of the story yet? I really like this game, but I got a new (C:) drive for my pc and I don't want to start from the beginning again. Could you add a skip to the first day in the office?
That feature did exist in much older versions of the game, back when that beginning part was a large chunk of the total playtime, but I think I removed it in 0.4.
There's not much point in it these days. That's 15 minutes out of a 20+ hour game.
Also when I press on quest journal, when I click on quest details it becomes a black page on the right as the attached photo. Therefore, I can't see the quest details and I'm stuck don'know how to active the bomb or move it to the rocks? Please help, I've been trying for 3 days without any success.
I've seen some scattered reports of black screens; I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. My present theory is that it's something to do with wonky WebGL support on your device. You may be able to edit the package.json file (in the same folder as the rest of the game data) to fix it. Inside the empty quotes beside "chromium-args" try adding: --disable-webgl
This will force the game to play in canvas mode, which may give worse performance overall, but I think it may help the issue you're describing.
Hi there, how are you doing? First of all, the game is so good I loved it, thank you very much for this lovely exited game. However, I need your help in this as I'm stuck in Kobold's quest when boss Kobold asking me for help to defeat the rock boss. When I cross the bridg, the rock keeps throwing a stone bomb at me, and I should run to the right to enter another path, after that I find a red switch on the left when I press the switch a black bomb appears and I tried to move or to light it up but I couldn't. Moreover, the end of the path is closed with rocks,
please help as I'm using android system and game version 0.8
I can't event exit from the dungeon:(
Please see the attached screenshot for more clarification
I don't actually make an Android version of the game, so you've gotten it from an unauthorized source. Problems like you're describing is one reason Android isn't a supported platform. It sounds like the version you're using isn't correctly parsing the scripts I wrote, probably because whoever made it didn't give it ES6 support. There's nothing I can do other than to tell you to play the Windows or Mac version.
Noted with many thanks, so I have to play it from the beginning in windows edition. Ok I'll do that, and I'll report to you when I reached kobold quest, thank you again for your swift reply.

Keeble quest is bugged, It's just fucking annoying, it never ends even After cleaning all the waves
Will look into it, thanks for the report.

I have to ask, is there any bondage content in the game at all? If so awesome! If not, heartbreaking, but overall, good job on the game!
Very little. A couple of scenes involve characters getting tied up or magically restrained, but it's not a particularly big or recurring theme.
Thanks for replying! Kinda sucks to hear, but completely understandable. While bondage is fun I imagine it's not very high up on the list of kinks for the game.
Woot New update! Can't wait to try it out.
Hey, just started the game, and up to it, i really like it. The humor is fun, the characters are pretty, yep, i like it a lot. thx!
i need help where can i get magic water in the town where the spiders are at
Magic water is mana potion. You probably got some by adventuring; you might be able to buy some somewhere, I don't recall.
I did a mistake during the Oracle visit I moved to Stone in a stuck location now the Stone is unmovable and I cannot continue the quest hens cannot continue the game and now I am stuck in a level and mistakenly saved after all that mess I am stuck good
You can pull blocks. Just hold the action key and move backward. If you got into a bad situation pull should be able to get you out.
hey proxxie do you have a discord ?
Sorry for the delay! Yes, I do - it's: https://discord.gg/gXxRWf4
It's not terribly active most of the time, but feel free to stop by.
Alrighty thanks !

I lost all my progress in the version 0.8. Is there a way that I can only play the new content?
Please tell me there are plans to allow for combat animations and such to be speed up.

On my knees in the middle of a Walmart parking lot begging this gets updated
Please remove the VR tag its not a VR game

That would explain alot lol. I'll still play it for sure. Thanks for letting me know :)
I am playing version 8.0 (the public one) but i am facing issues with the bomb challenge.
But then when i see a gameplay video on how to solve it, they are showing an extra pair of bombs
So do i have a bug? if not, how to solve it?
I don’t think you have a bug. The two extra bombs are in “normal mode”, and you are apparently playing on “hard mode”. You can switch the dungeon’s mode using the torch at the end of Kobold Town.
It’s still possible without those two extra bombs, btw.
doing it in hard mode is just an extra challenge then and i don't get better spoils or anything???
As of now, no. I may add certain special benefits later for players who complete all dungeons on the most difficult setting available (the other dungeons thus far have easy-normal modes, The Dark Pits has normal-hard modes.)

Is there a reason why I'm not gaining XP? I'm searching for the orb of illusion and Still lvl 1 and have zero XP....
XP and levels isn't actually a mechanic I use in the game; you grow in power by completing quests and story events or by getting equipment (that comes through quest and story events.) I didn't use XP because I didn't want to incentivize or require repetitive, boring combat (grinding.)

Glad you're enjoying it! I may do animation at some point in the future when I move the art over to Blender, but I haven't decided.

Huge fan of the game. Easily top 5 on android. Just wondering, Is there a updated guide available?
Thanks. But I’ve never made a version for Android, and I’ve never made a guide.
Hey can u tell me how can I update the game after downloading it or do I have to redownload it ??
Yes, you have to redownload it after every update, I'm afraid.
Also when I press on quest journal, when I click on quest details it becomes a black page on the right as the attached photo. Therefore, I can't see the quest details and I'm stuck don'know how to active the bomb or move it to the rocks? Please help, I've been trying for 3 days without any success.

Ohh my, ok then I'll try modify it and I'll let you know if it works
If you're starting over on Windows, I'd wait to see if you have the same problem on Windows before doing it. Good luck!
hey can u tell me how to save the game in the windows. It will be a huge help
You're not able to use the save menu? It should be an option when you enter the main menu by pressing either esc or x while playing.
please help as I'm using android system and game version 0.8

Yea it doesn't work on PC either if you just click on it, you have to move the bomb by pressing the arrow keys/WASD.
