[h3]Discovery Channel for Kids[/h3] But hand drawn and with fare more imagination than a David Attenborough Blue planet DVD could ever deliver. Hand drawn drama for free. Be immersed, submerged actually in the world of the Brillo whale. An unusual whale, with an unusual biology in a world of fantastical creatures and miss-understood sharks! This is a game less about animals and more about our relationship with each other as humans and about our healthy imaginations. [h3]Grounding[/h3] Highly recommend this game for children as well as adults, in a world tired out with hidden agendas, wokeness, gender distress and climate change fear. This discovery of a small island chain formed alongside a deep water subduction zone is a breath of fresh air (or water) for us all. Natural barriers will not hold your imagination back as hand drawn images will have the kids squealing and adults truly appreciating. Warning : themes of Death and Birth. A free game you can play in an hour, more if you want to cover all the accomplishments.

loved it! small problem, I purchased a hoodie and part 2 still has not been announced yet.1 found this helpful
This is so good I cannot wait for part two
I just want more. Can't wait for part 2! The art is beautiful, the story compelling and the world building rich for how compact it all is. The only complaint I have is the lack of VO. I don't actually think the AI voices in this are terribly bad sounding but it would undoubtedly do better with actual VO.
What a fantastically charming game. The setting the deep dive into an alien biology from a documentary perspective it's brilliant! a beautifully story-rich world is presented through the hand-drawn art and backgrounds I am eagerly awaiting the second instalment
An amazing story and a well thought out world.
