Crusty Proto is a retro-style action game unearthed from a forgotten pile of 1990s game discs. Set in a corrupted prototype world plagued by zombies and glitches, the game feels like a lost, unfinished version of a survival horror classic. Blocky graphics, eerie silence, and half-complete horrors amplify the tension with every step. Despite the technical flaws, it dares you to survive the chaos it barely holds together. Explore what’s broken and fight your way to the end!

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

In Crusty Proto, fog-drenched corridors wrap around silent, pixelated hallways. Twisted creatures shamble through flickering rooms, drawn by noise and motion. Gunshots echo with delay, while doors stutter open into bloodstained voids. But new areas emerge—glitching into existence only after clearing waves of corrupted enemies. Then come the NPCs, half-rendered and barely coherent, offering fragments of the story. Occasionally, scenes crash into static before snapping back to life, throwing players off their trail. Yet deeper levels expose rougher maps and nastier creatures, crawling from holes the engine can barely handle. Despite the chaos, a pattern starts to form—a mystery worth chasing.
