Crusty Proto

Description

Crusty Proto is a mysterious and glitchy game discovered in a collection of CDs from a garage sale, dated around 1997. Its design clearly draws inspiration from the early days of survival horror, particularly Resident Evil, which was a massive hit at the time. Despite its ambitious goals, the game never reached release, likely due to technical issues and the challenges of its development environment. Players control the protagonist using a keyboard or Xbox controller, navigating through tense scenarios with standard movement and shooting mechanics. The jugabilidad features a basic layout similar to other controllers, making it accessible to many. Created during the ShroomJam 2024 3DI70R game jam, Tihan handled coding, modeling, and animation, while Tihan also contributed to music, ideas, and QA. All assets were crafted during the jam, resulting in a unique, retro-inspired experience that stands out for its raw, unfinished charm. This hidden gem offers a nostalgic look at early 3D horror game development. It's a fascinating glimpse into what could.
