Penguin Colony

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.

Setting

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.

Gameplay

Embody any one of the local penguins and wander the frozen landscape, following the humans in their discoveries, and witnessing their minds collapse under the strain.

About the Game

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.
