Penguin Colony

"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.
