The HoloVerse is where to begin. The Prototype Lab is where it's created and tested by devs and users:

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.

EVERYTHING CONNECTS TO THE HOLOVERSE ANTHOLOGY

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.

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.

One Universe, Many Types of Experiences

The Prototype Lab contains projects inspired by many different genres and formats, including:

2D 3D Experimental Action Adventure Arcade Creative Tools Coding / Python Crafting Cyberpunk Educational Exploration Fantasy Farming Fighting Flight First-Person Horror Isometric Liminal Spaces Mystery Open Worlds Platformers Procedural Generation Prototypes Puzzles Racing Real-Time Strategy RPG Sandbox Science Fiction Simulations Singleplayer Shooters Space Stealth Survival Third-Person Turn-Based Games Utopian and Dystopian Worlds Warfare Wildlife Simulations Utilities and Development Experiments And more as the Lab expands.

Not every genre represents a full standalone game. Some appear as smaller prototypes, mechanics, simulations, or experiments within the larger Lab.
