Praetor (Prototype)

This is an unfinished prototype. You will experience bugs, unoptimized scenarios, and problems.

Praetor is a solo prototype project made by Josh Hirshfield in the process of his MFA Thesis during his time at NYU. It is a roughly 45 minute long action metroidvania prototype, focusing on exploration and discovery. 

This is being released as a prototype due to the unfinished and buggy nature of the game, but it can be played through to the end if you're interested in giving it a try. 

To play, download the .zip and extract it, then run GODWALKER.exe. The name of the executable is different because it eventually became a different game later on in my Thesis process, but I assure you this is the correct build.

I hope you enjoy! As mentioned above, this is very very rough. Many enemies have bugs and projectile spawning issues which result in stutters and lag, and there are a ton of bugs to do with picking up and using weapons. The first three rooms are the most stable, but from there issues begin to arise.

Fair warning! There is a bug where some sound FX will play on launch, they can play pretty loud so TURN DOWN YOUR SPEAKERS
