About this game

Protegene is a browser-playable itch.io game discovered through Open Source AI Game Jam on itch.io. It is included because the page responded successfully, advertises a browser build, and has an explicit AI-generated, AI-jam, or AI-assisted discovery context. The original itch.io page is used as the play surface because itch pages commonly block third-party iframe embedding.

Protegene sits in the AI Simulation Games section. The main appeal is watching a system respond over time, then making small changes to see how the outcome shifts. The tags #itch, #ai-game-jam, #strategy describe the fastest way to understand what kind of session to expect.

Protegene is played on the original itch.io page. AI Game Lib links out for this source because itch creator pages often restrict iframe embedding and the official page is the most reliable place for controls, fullscreen behavior, and creator notes.
