Meteor shower

A meteor shower can only be seen in the night.
Meteors rain down from the sky from a changing (?) spot. You may want to sit down (Using the space bar) and watch.

Stone circle

After exploring Proteus some, you will see a circle of stones. If it is night, step in the circle. Some dots will be swirling around it. Eventually they will settle in a small circle. Step inside and a white flash will go and you will be transported to the next season.

Totems

Somewhere on the island is some totems. Standing near them will cause the stars to explode.

Controls

You can move with the WASD/Arrow keys. Use the mouse to look, and space to sit down.

How to win the game

Winning the game requires you time travel using the stone circle 3 times. You will enter winter.
By the sunrise of the second day you will float up into the sky and go back to the title screen. You won! NOTE ; Winning is totally optional.

It seems like this "guide" barely scratches the surface...

if you know of it, document the wolf head, the man who runs away after standing at the right time near the statues, and what they do, not a lot of people know about them so an explanation would be useful.

I think this isn't a game that you 'traverse' and maybe 'conclude' through advancing the seasons. The act of 'winning' the game is just enjoying the time while you are there.

I once tried just swimming in the ocean, hoping something would happen. Nope, you just end up lost in the ocean.

I sat around the 3 totems in autum night, the sky went red, and eventually after sitting there a while, a man or something appeared, I chased him through the island, he lead me to a big tree, flapped his arms and disapeared, occasionally he will look back at you if you chase him, in a utum night if you go to the tree you will also see a fox.
