The Protagonist 1.0

The Protagonist is a short and very sweet game that was made within 72 hours for a Ludum Dare game jam, you take on the role of The Protagonist (of course) on his thirtieth birthday who is a kind of waste of space loser who spends his days sitting watching TV, too scared to leave his parents basement that he lives in and occasionally taking naps, however the nap he takes today will change everything.

Once you fall asleep you go through a selection of dreams which is where things get interesting and will change The Protagonist’s life forever but this you will need to play for yourself. Although the game clocks in at just a few minutes it starts off kind of comically but becomes very heartfelt and sweet the further you get in to it, culminating in a very touching moment at the very end.
