Find the Orange Narwhal

Find the Orange Narwhal is less of a game and more of an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue and the occasional image/hotspot slapped tother using a Py'Game template. This glorified Choose Your Own Adventure E-book is a surrealist exercise in bad writing and contrived, unfunny surrealism. Someone watched too much Monty Python when they were procrastinating in anime fan-fiction class and so we ended up with this mildly interactive "book". Reading this e-book is supposed to take you through a story about someone with a hangover solving a mystery, but really, this will make you feel like you have a hangover without the fun evening beforehand. All hangover, no party. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the e-book peaked at only 3 concurrent readers... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. The funny thing is, if you wanted to print this book, you'd only need to print 3 copies to satsify the entire world's de…

[h3] I'm currently doing a challenge to play through a free game in every single category on steam. I then give an honest review using ChatGPT. [/h3] Game: 121 / 447 [b] Category: Crime [/b] "Where’s My Narwhal?" – A Crime Saga for the Ages Picture this: you wake up hungover, your head pounding, and instead of piecing your life back together, you’re struck with one mission—find your missing orange narwhal. That’s it. That’s the game. And somehow, it’s a masterpiece of absurdity. What follows is a journey so off-the-rails it feels like a fever dream. Pirates? Check. Ninjas? Of course. Zombies, mermaids, police, and clowns? Why not? It’s a chaotic cavalcade of nonsense, and it’s honestly incredible. Every twist and turn will have you wondering what substances the developers were on (and if they have any left). The game is short but perfectly ridiculous. It doesn’t overstay its welcome, and really, how long can you keep up the drama of searching for a fluorescent sea creature? It’s like a noir film—but instead of a missing person, it’s a narwhal. And instead of gritty realism, it’s… well, pirates and clowns. Absolutely worth playing. Find the narwhal. Embrace the chaos. Live yo…

good game

the trial and error nature of it kinda ticked me off, I can't say I'd recommend it :P

Fun, it did freeze once, but it was a fun game, odd story

What a fun little game this is, with a visual novel structure (multiple paths and endings/achievements, and lots of supporting characters - pirates, clowns, mermaids, police etc), plus interactive elements (mini-games and gun battles), all in the hunt for the missing Orange Narwhal. The game is very forgiving e.g. the mini-games can be skipped without penalty, and if the main character dies, he comes back with the same items as before. A very entertaining way to spend a couple of hours - well done to the developer.
