About Penguin Colony

✦ AI summary

Penguin Colony puts you in the flippers of an Antarctic penguin witnessing the collapse of human minds as Nazis and indigenous Kaitiaki converge on an ancient cosmic horror in 1939. This sincere expansion of H.P. Lovecraft's mythos reimagines his weird fiction through a penguin's perspective, blending cosmic dread with a unique vantage point on humanity's encounter with the unknowable.

"I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain..."

A faithful re-imagining of H.P. Lovecraft through the eyes of a penguin. Developed by Origame Digital, creators of Umurangi Generation, published by Fellow Traveller (1000xRESIST), and narrated by Lenval Brown.

“The wind howls differently in the S̴̭̘̥͉̘̤̺͚͈̫̘̎̉̀̊͛̿͗̃́́͐̊̐̓̊͠ͅouth”

The year is 1939, and the Nazis and Kaitiaki are making their way into the deep Antarctic to answer the call of an impossibly ancient being. One group seeks to extract this inconceivable power for its own destructive means. The other, as it has been doing for generations, hopes to return it to its slumber for another hundred years.

“Is it possible that what I have e̸̘̽x̷͔̿p̷̢̓e̴̗͠r̷̫̓ì̷͖ĕ̸͓n̷͇͘c̵̠͌e̸̜̓d̶̗̆  shall be believed?”

These humans, with their strange sights and sounds, will pique the curiosity of the local penguins. Embody any one of these penguins and wander the frozen landscape, following the humans in their discoveries, and witnessing their minds collapse under the strain.

“Or will my wö̴̭̥́̌̓̒̅rds come across like those of a m̴̜͉̻̙̮̳̺͕̼̤̥̯͙̞̉̔͆̀̉̈̃̑̔̀̉́́͘͜ͅa̴̢̛̩͚̣̼̘̱̥̰͉͗̈͌͆̕ͅͅd̷͇͝ ̵̧̗́͠m̵͚͓̎̐ạ̴̠̃n̶̹̾͝?̴̦̞̉́”

Part adaptation, part re-imagination, Penguin Colony is a sincere expansion of H.P. Lovecraft’s mythos. Drawing inspiration from stories like At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Out of Time, the game is set just two years after Lovecraft’s death, and carries on his tradition of weird fiction.

I will preface this by saying I had the wonderful chance to playtest the game early but for me, this is a likely candidate for my game of the year. Penguin Colony takes Lovecraft's cosmic horror and contrasts it against the horrific actions of humanity. It stretches out his ideology to their natural conclusion and asks you to witness it through the eyes of a bunch of little penguins. Lenval Brown is fantastic. On the video game side, it's a little janky but it becomes very satisfying when you get a handle on things. The penguins just feel like they belong. Weird, right? The various Antarctic locations are also littered with collectibles that nudge at what happened to the expedition much of the story is centered around. Sometimes you just straight up find some weird... things. The game can be deceptively heavy on performance (for good reason), so keep that in mind. If you hate fluctuating framerates consider just locking it to 60. I'm really glad to have had the chance to play it. So go do it! I bought the soundtrack to support the devs. It's good

Umurangi Generation is one of my favorite games, and I'm so excited for ORIGAME to be taking such a unique perspective on one of my favorite horror settings. Penguin Colony, so far, is doing everything I wanted from its simple pitch, and given Umurangi's pacing I'm sure I'll be exponentially more pleased the longer I spend with it.

This game is the ♥♥♥♥. Lots of creepy and unsettling moments but I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ because I'm a penguin. Now watch me squawk and hit this triple backflip superman 900

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
