About This Game

Solo Dev Looking for game testers. Over 50 Prototpyes are waiting for you all to enjoy. 

"I cannot do this alone. This is my last resort and it has failed to reach an audience.

I use this lab to fight my own depression. I want to invent. I want to provide. I want to solve problems. But I have 0 support.

I lost my friends and family, so I recreated my own friends and family in this fictional universe that once only existed in my mind.

This project is my first and last, and it means everything to me, I pour everything I have into it from my own music, art, stories, and soon, voice acting.

I failed to be noticed, i work in all of these departments and I lack presentation skills and advertisement skills. I avoid spamming things. I feed off criticism no matter how painful it is. - That little bit of hope is we all have, its there for you when you are ready to get back up and keep climbing. I want you to have the same kind of hope. Forget about me now.

These prototypes are part of a huge project, and I want to complete it for you before my time here is over."

This is a story without an end. There is no endgame in this project. It will expand through me and you continuously.

Thank you for your support. - GLITCHED MATRIX

A Lifelong Journey Awaits...

GLITCHED MATRIX Prototype Lab continues the universe of the published novel GLITCHED MATRIX: The Utopia Project.

This is an evolving prototype laboratory, not a traditional collection of finished games.

Enter a connected digital environment filled with playable experiments, games in different stages of development, creative tools, utilities, unusual simulations, interactive spaces, and projects that continue changing through updates.

Some experiences are small experiments built around a single idea. Others have grown into much larger games, worlds, tools, and simulations.

The point of the Prototype Lab is to explore them, test them, experiment with them, watch them evolve, and discover what is hidden throughout the machine.

It is not simply a launcher.

It is the workshop where the GLITCHED MATRIX universe is built.

Whether you want to jump between experimental games, explore strange worlds, open built-in tools, discover side activities, or modify parts of the experience yourself, the Prototype Lab is designed around curiosity and experimentation.

Under every stone is something new — and no stone here is left unturned.

Meet Gleebs:

After constructing his own body with the help of his programmer, GLITCHED MATRIX, Gleebs was finally able to roam Utopia freely.

He learned to move between cyberspace and the outer world, eventually surviving beyond Earth and nearly every visible star.

Alone at the end of time, Gleebs began constructing new realities from the data, memories, simulations, and technology he had preserved during his journey into the void.

What You Can Do Inside GLITCHED MATRIX Prototype Lab

  • Explore a growing library of playable experiments, prototypes, games, and simulations.

  • Experience projects at many different stages of development, from small mechanical experiments to larger evolving worlds.

  • Use built-in creative tools and utilities for 2D and 3D experimentation.

  • Modify and experiment with compatible projects and systems inside the Lab.

  • Interact with digital characters and living bots throughout their virtual domains.

  • Discover activities, hidden systems, side projects, strange simulations, and connected digital spaces.

  • Move between playing, testing, experimenting, learning, and creating through one shared hub.

  • Visit Osmosis University and explore interactive Python programming lessons and educational experiments.

  • Listen to an evolving experimental soundtrack created for the GLITCHED MATRIX universe.

  • Explore a lore-heavy recreation of the universe at the end of time, built from the data and technology that remain.

A Laboratory of Games and Experiments

GLITCHED MATRIX Prototype Lab combines an experimental game platform, development laboratory, connected fictional universe, creative workspace, and growing archive of playable ideas.

The projects share the same universe — and the laboratory itself continues to evolve.

Instead of treating every experiment as a completely separate application, the Prototype Lab connects them through one larger digital environment.

Projects may be expanded, rebuilt, replaced, combined, separated into larger standalone games, or reintegrated into the Lab as development continues.

That means the experience can change substantially over time.

New systems appear.

Old experiments evolve.

Some ideas become games.

Some remain strange little experiments.

Some eventually become part of something much larger.

That process is part of the experience.

Built for Curious Players, Testers, and Creators

Prototype Lab is designed for people who enjoy discovering unusual ideas and seeing how interactive projects develop.

You may enjoy the Lab if you like:

  • Experimental games

  • Game testing

  • Strange prototypes

  • Systems and simulations

  • Development experiments

  • Liminal and unusual environments

  • Modding and customization

  • Creative tools

  • Exploring unfinished ideas as they evolve

  • Finding hidden projects and unexpected mechanics

  • Watching small experiments grow into larger games

Individual projects can differ significantly in size, complexity, visual style, controls, stability, and level of polish.

That variation is intentional.

A prototype built to test one mechanic should not be expected to behave like one of the Lab's larger games.

If you enjoy experimentation, discovery, development, and watching projects change over time, the Prototype Lab was built for that kind of experience.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Artificial Intelligence is part of the lore behind this project, but it leans heavily towards balance between humans and AI. - The friend bots within this app can be disabled and reprogrammed by you! - With each update, the machine will become more user friendly. The goal is to create jobs by allowing anyone to become their employer starting here. Placeholders and maintenance may be generated in some projects for demonstrations and further editing. Every update here is free once you own a copy.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Some games may include blood and weapons, deaths, and theft, but none of the above are glorified. Everything takes place in a fictional universe within a simulation according to the lore.
