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 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.

(+1)

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.

(+1)

That works, thank you very much

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

(+1)

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.

(+1)

thank you kindly!

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.

(1 edit)

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.

Thank you!

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. 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.

(+2)

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.

(-2)

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

(+3)

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.

(+1)

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

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?

(+1)(-1)

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.

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.)

(1 edit)

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.

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.)

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? 

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.

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.

Huge fan of the game. Easily top 5 on android. Just wondering, Is there a updated guide available?

(1 edit)

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. 

(1 edit)

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.

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.

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 

Please help

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. 


Best regards 

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. 

Hey, sorry for the question, but, do you have any plans to make an android version? This is a great game and the story is really cool

Glad you like it! No plans for an Android version, I'm afraid. Many parts of the game require a keyboard to play, which I'm assuming most Android users won't have.

(1 edit)

I'm sorry but I've got a little problem with the game. You see I downloaded the 9.02 version on my mac and I noticed I could not save and neither access the options without the game crashing. I read the comments and found out that another user had the same problem so I did exactly as you replied to him but the problem is still there. I know this is probably something stupid but I'm not an expert, so please help me, I love this game.

0.9 is the patron version, no? Why would you not ask on Patreon or Subscribestar?

(1 edit)

Because I downloaded the version when I made a one-time donation to your patreon page since right now I can't afford a monthly subscribe. And because of that I can't access to the page anymore. Sorry!

No need to apologize, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't providing tech support to pirates. Aside from not wanting to encourage piracy, people getting the game from folks who may or may not have done something to it adds a layer of stuff that could go wrong that has nothing to do with me.

This may be easier in Discord. I need to know exactly which version you're running. It looks like it's attempting to create a save directory in the game folder, which is an error I might expect to see in 0.9, but not 0.9.1 or 0.9.2. If you're playing one of the latter two versions, something very odd has happened. Also, are you playing on an Intel Mac or an M1?

Oh yeah discord...Didn't think about that. Anyway I'm playing on the 0.9.2, I have an Intel Mac and already moved the plugins.js for the lightning problem.

My first guess is that you haven't created/don't have a save directory. There are instructions for doing that further down the page here, as well as in the FAQ that should have been included with 0.9.2. If that does not solve your problem, please come to Discord.

Hey I've got to the part where I need to get buddies for the Guild. I assume the weird elf with ginger hair is who I need but he just says "wood wood yes they'll never think of that" what do I do

That's not the guy. You need a different one.

Hi, i have found this bug at the end of chapter 2, (just after i have crossed the bridge, before the world map).
Can you help me?
(+1)

You appear to be playing 0.9 rather than 0.8. Regardless, you seem to have a CPU or GPU that is incompatible with a lighting plugin I started  using in that release. 0.9.1 contains a fix for this problem, look in the’lighting problems fix’ folder in 0.9.1 and follow the instructions there.

ooook, thanks 

I not sure but maybe i can speack about a spoiler for that watch out if you'll read it.

Hi, i've just a little problem. I have completed the quest of glow frogs catch, but after i catched 4 frogs and watch the dialogue scene the game not go ahead. If i return at the HQ of guild  the guild leader tell me about the quest as if i not completed it. It is a game bug or i'm just a noob?

(+1)

Sounds like a bug, I'll look into it. Thank you for the report!

(+1)

I love the game's story, and the character interactions. But given the description here, I thought 6+ hours in I'd have more than 4 H scenes, most involving little no no sexual content.

(1 edit) (+1)

This is more 'a game, with porn' than 'a porn game.'

I love this game, a normal guy being put in a virtual reality simulator is a dream come true. Wish we can actually do that in real life as well...sadly only in anime or video games but still good job!

Thank you! ^^

Release Navidad!

How do i play this game on Linux? lol

Not a Linux person, so I really don't know :/ I know a lot of Linux folks do manage to play it, but what they do to get it going I have no idea. I suspect it's a little different depending on which distro you're running.

(+1)

Proxie is correct: the exact steps depends on the distribution and probably desktop environment that you are running.  When you ask for such help you should provide the information on which of these you are using.  There is also generally more than one way to do anything on a Linux desktop or laptop.  The following should work on most Ubuntu distributions and possibly others.


The first thing is to download the game (Linux version of course) and extract the files.  How to do this depends on the browser and desktop environment that you are running.  Open the folder in a terminal (or navigate to it).  Type the command "chmod +x ./Game" .  This registers the binary file as an executable.  Now to run the game, open the folder in a terminal and type "./Game"  These commands are case sensitive.


If you are having difficulty then, please, ask about it.  When you do try to include information about your distro (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), your desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, etx.), and your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) if appropriate.  Also, if you could specifically include what step you are having an issue with, what you have tired, and what any error messages say.


If you are not familiar with how to use the terminal in Linux, it is essential that you learn some basic tasks with it even in the most user friendly set ups.  There are numerous tutorials and guides for beginners to introduce this.  You can use Goggle to find one that works for you.

Thank you, hopefully others will find this useful!

I love the game but there is an apparent bug in the Linux version.  The game looks for a file "./img/faces/g_Bunnies_Jovi_Portrait1.png".  There is a file of the same name at that location but with a capital "G"  Copping the files and renaming them with the lowercase "g" works.  I'm sorry if you are already aware of this but I though I would inform you just in case you're not.

Thanks for the report!

Me quede atascado en la misión de los kobolds xq no se donde se obtenga el shinestone según se lo da el rey pero no logro obtenerlo o es lo que mi inglés da a enteder si pueden ayudarme con sus tips estaré muy agradecido

No hablo espanol, but if I understand your problem right, you can't complete Keeble and Greeble's quest once you've beaten the Stone King. You have to complete it before you fight him.

hey um first thing is that i cant save my game so yeah and secondthing is that when i go into settings it comes up with and error and i have to restart the game but because i cant save i have to restart i play on mac by the way also if you could tell me what im doing wrong that would be great because i really like this game.

You'll probably have to manually create the save folder.  This is in your USER library, not the system one:

~/Library/Application Support/KADOKAWA/Proteus Effect/

(2 edits)

how do i get to that folder / create it

(1 edit)

Been a while since I used a Mac, but this may help. I think your user library is normally hidden, so you'll have to get there a slightly different way. This page tells you how to get to a specific destination on your mac:

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/go-directly-to-a-specific-folder-on-mac...

You'll be doing the bottom option, "Go to a folder by entering its path name."

  • In the 'Go' box, enter:

~/Library/Application Support

  • Press enter. You should now be in the ~/Library/Application Support folder
  • If there isn't already a folder called 'KADOKAWA' in there, create one with that name
  • Go into the KADOKAWA folder
  • If there isn't already a folder called 'Proteus Effect', create one with that name
  • You're done

yeah it worked

I was doing the imp quest and Jovis' portrait wouldn't load so I kept getting a loading error that would pop up and pause the game unless I hit try again. I completed the quest in hopes that if he left the party it would stop popping up but it keeps coming back every couple seconds, even on the menu.

Sounds like a corrupted file to me. I’d re-download. 

Yup, it worked. Its running fine now. Thank you. 

I saw your game more than a year ago, I will definitely try it soon.

How can I cure Razormaw Swine Flu  in a hospital? As soon as I apply my cure spell on a patient, he immediately becomes infected again and the number 14 does not decrease at all. 

Sorry about the delay! There are some bugs with the minigame in 0.7.2. I think I fixed most of them in 0.8, but that doesn't help much with the public version. I can give you the following tips to avoid the bugs:

  • Don't talk to Starhoof again after starting the minigame
  • If you fail, completely shut down/close the game before trying again

I think those should help. Hopefully y'all won't have to wait too long for 0.8, which should address most of these issues.

Is there a way to bypass this minigame ?

I must say I really enjoyed the game until this...

Sorry to say, but it's really buggy, it's often doesn't start. And when it start, I really can't manage to reduce the number of ill people to 0. The best I can achieve is 3, for a couple of second before it get up at 6 or 7 in less than 10 seconds.

I get no fun with this... Which is a shame, because I really loved the game before, the story, the GC, the humor, the main character...

But now I'm stuck, and can't even quit the clinic to continue the story :-(

I have found 2 bugs with this minigame.
First, don't save after you heal the little girl but before launching the minigame. Because  you can't heal the sick people then. Clicking on them just play their dialogs.
Second, the counter is buggy and counts 2 too many. When I heal everybody, it's still count 2. I can't finish the minigame, and some of them get sick again...

Is there a way to progress the story without going to the clinic ?

No way to progress without flu minigame.

I may have a way to get the changes I made to the minigame in 0.8 into your 0.7.x version. I don't know if I got all the bugs, but there should be fewer. I also don't think easy mode worked for this minigame in 0.7, but it should in 0.8.

https://mega.nz/folder/pS4HVTZD#yU9PLAQDmX2HsUuQqQQLKA

Place map138.json into your www/data folder (and overwrite what's there.) Place PROX_Minigames.js into the www/js/plugins folder (and overwrite.) You may want to back up your old files first.

This might not work at all. Or it could cause unforeseen changes, since I'm not sure these capture everything I changed about the event, but I think it'll probably be okay. In either case, I'd probably load from a save before you entered the building the first time.

It's works, thank you.

Sorry to bother you again, but now I'm back in the dungeon, in the tunnel where rock men throw the bombs. I went to the second screen, and pull the lever. A bomb appear. I suppose I must use it to blow out the rocks that block the path, but I can't take it. Clicking on it do nothing... Nor than clicking on the barrel near the rocks.
What I'm missing ?

Hi. I can't find the black straw. a couple of clues as to where she might be? Thanx

I believe you'll find it for sale in one of the shops.

oh, yes. i got it. thank you
the problem was that you had to click on the counter, not on the seller

It's a false positive, but thanks for the heads up. I just uploaded the game executable to VirusTotal, and two engines (out of 70) flagged it.

I've had false positives on game releases before; most big AV vendors have websites you can use to file false positive reports, but the two that flagged it are rinky-dink outfits that apparently do not. I've emailed them asking how to file a false positive report, but no response as of yet.

Quest: help please? Edit: Found it!

Working on Party Time! have everything except the flower for Shiri's punch, went to check the quest info for the location but instead of details I've an opaque black box. :/

When I first saw this game, I figured it was just another one of those "hentai rpg" style games and kept passing it up. It's definitely not.    

This game is REALLY GOOD. I'm not too far into it yet, but the storyline is very well written and the main characters are extremely well drawn.  There were quite a few times, simply because of how the main character speaks with an innocent tone combined with sheer stupidity "especially right after you fight the drunken guards", that I was laughing fairly hard because it reminds me of certain people I've met over the years.  Keep up the great work, I joined your Discord channel and even finally made an account on Patreon just to check out your page.

I do feel that this is a wonderful concept for a game. Gender role reversal, women empowerment, stereotypical tendencies. Basically taking a walk in the other persons shoes.

 I would absolutely support this game. 

Do you happen to know how much the final release will cost, seeing that I would only be able to get the public versions, because I wouldn't be able to donate monthly?  I may be able to give a small donation at some point though.


-------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple small things I've noticed.

When using the broken Augur's orb, there is a word and a comma missing in the one answser  (If "I" don't know how to get out of this goddamn thing "comma" what makes you think I can get you home?)

Also, after you deliver the fake bear pelts to the merchant and the bees scare him off, the bees are still at the top of the screen, where the path to the bears and bees is located.
