Interesting that this is referred to as a walking simulator when it almost feels more like a consciousness simulator, i.e that most "walking simulators" such as Gone Home, Death Stranding, Dear Esther, etc are concerned with conveying a certain physicality within the depicted space (footstep sounds, walking animations) while in Proteus you simply glide through the island, the sense of drift feeling like an out-of-body experience. Reminds me of the sort of waking dream state you fall into while tripping, though Proteus is a much less absorbing experience than that. Visually and aurally very nice though.
