The Proteus Effect 10.0.4 Public Release


Version 10.2 is now out for supporters, so that means it’s time to publicly release 10.0.4! In this release, Alex and the others return to the Oracle to ask about the strange figure that was causing trouble in Cape Hope - and meet someone unexpected on the way. Our heroes also try to gain the assistance of a rival guild, The Hell, in their fight against the dragon. Getting their help doesn't sound so bad... at least until they discover the ancient dungeon!

Changelog (vs. 0.9):

  • 3 (technically 4) new quests
  • New puzzle levels
  • New sneaking mission
  • New dungeon, boss fight and miniboss fight
  • New H-scene (25 images)
  • New outfit (pajamas) and character view renders
  • Added the West Wind (for staff quest)
  • New gear
  • New special currencies/rewards (that don’t do anything until 10.1)
  • Approximate playtime of new content: 6-8 hours

Please let me know if you find any bugs, and I hope you enjoy the game!

I have played this game for some time now and very much enjoy it, however, I am having some serious issues with the Seer's Tower quest, I may just be an idiot, but it seems to be a legitimate bug, as there appears to be no solution to the puzzle and on top of that the puzzle already seems to be solved but impossible to access the oracle, these may go hand in hand or I might be a legitimate moron, please advise if possible. 

Sorry to hear you're having problems! A screenshot would help me better understand the problem; you could link to one here, or else visit the Discord and upload one there. It's entirely possible there's a bug I missed.

My general hints about the puzzle are:

  • You need to use all portals but the red one
  • Most of the action takes place on the left hand set of platforms
  • You'll need to do some backtracking

Assuming everything is working correctly, there's at least 2 ways to solve it; there may be more. Also, you can use "easy mode" to bypass it (use the torch in the first puzzle room), but in doing so you'll miss out on a reward (a neat accessory) and a little bit of dialogue.
