PROTO ANIMA is a short game about a Homunculus born too soon.

(Content warning! PROTO ANIMA features themes of body horror, medical horror and descriptions of death.)

CONTROLS:

Arrow Keys to move, walk into pink (or otherwise uniquely-coloured objects) to interact with them. Interact with everything as you see it for the best experience. Use the fullscreen button located at the bottom right of the game for (also) the best experience.

ABOUT:

PROTO ANIMA was made over a period of a couple months on and off as a side project. It is inspired by projects like the wonderful Experiment 12, started by Terry Cavanagh, as well as my own struggles with identity.

This made me cry. I was stupid enough to even play it twice and ended up crying even harder. The dialogue between the scientist and the Homunculus really gets to you in the most emotional way. I have nothing more to say other than beautiful game natch.
