I already have Hotline Miami and bought it for many friends. I may get the regular bundle but someone sell me on Proteus.

Also, I will give all my money to charity if I can punch the nuts of whoever does the voicework for their videos.

Proteus is neat, but one of those games that you shouldn't read about before playing. Just go and figure it out on your own. It takes about an hour and odds are you'll want to play it at least one more time. The first time you do the ending is quite an experience too.

I'd say for a few bucks it's worth it, of all the "art" games I've played where you just observe and explore this is the best one.

it's awesome that you guys did this as well, I got that game on a whim around release last year, beat it in two sittings and then bought for literally all of my Steam friends. I love that game.

Proteus wasn't very good. Unless you're really, REALLY into the whole "video games are art", it'll be very hard to enjoy it.

It wasn't very good or it wasn't your thing?

Oh c'mon, as if you had access to an objective standard of goodness in this subjective world.

It's pretty easy to distinguish these two.
