PROTOThYPE _ a love story

A collection of basic minigames presented as 'prototypes' the developer created over the years. The storytelling style is reminiscent of '[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/303210/The_Beginners_Guide/]The Beginner's Guide[/url]' but it doesn't quite hit the mark when compared. That being said it is very creative in some areas and the voice acting is pretty good, the way the story is woven within the gameplay is one of the better aspects. There is a weird control issue that prevented me moving my mouse all the way down which made it awkward to pick up and interact with objects in levels. There is also no save function. The game takes less than one hour to playthrough.

Great school project, if I was a professor, I would give you an A. But I'm a real world user who cannot understand why (albeit as early as 2006), you felt it necessary to torture me with such awful control decisions. Why would you limit the height of the cursor to such a narrow height limit?? You have to move away from most (low or high) things just to interact with them.. Great start; you're able to put your personality into a video game, that's an amazing thing. But please do some real user testing before releasing your next project.

There was some things about this game that made it a bit hard to actually enjoy but overall, it was a decent game and I enjoyed figuring out all the puzzles. The story was okay (though I'm not quite sure if I personally liked it, but I can agree it was actually okay and I did like the overall meaning to it). I don't know if it was my laptop or not but the mouse sensitivity was different in each level and I seemed to have to adjust it on the levels that required fast movements (such as the sewer maze part). The throwing was a bit iffy too, sometimes it seemed to not throw as hard/far as it should have or the box would be way too close to the screen and that made it harder to do a proper throw). Overall, it was decent for a short-ish game with simple enough puzzles that weren't too hard and had a couple really easy ones. I definitely say give this game a try if you're looking for a relaxing game!

Quite bad. Game length: about 45 minutes.

I like and enjoy the concept I played this game twice. the voice acting was cool and the storytelling was done in a unique way!

PROTOThYPE _ a love story tries to be a similar experience of games such as The Stanley Parable but fails incredibly at it, with a compilation of small, frustrating "minigames" not because they're hard to get through them, but because the game does zero effort on guiding you or at least, try giving a clue, not only that but those games have nothing to do with the story as their only reason to be is to expand the time of what would be a five minute story. Other than that is just what I assume is a small life lesson about how you must never give up on love, a story of a guy that felt in love with a girl but didn't respond to his feelings. A mostly generic lesson that's trying a bit too hard to go deeper than it should be. I would have given it a positive review if the game did include a save feature, something that should be available in any game that goes past 45 min to 1 hour minimum and this one not only doesn't have it, but it states with pride on the store description that you won't be able to. The main reason why I pushed myself to beat it because I knew I would uninstall it once I closed the game wether I seen the ending or not. Honestly, this game should be free.
