Slide across the frozen wastes of Antarctica as a Penguin in PENGUIN COLONY, a short narrative adventure game which re-imagines H.P. Lovecrafts At the Mountains of Madness for a new generation. Set from a radically different perspective we observe the story from the eyes of a Penguin hearing the echoes of our narrator describing his plight

Open World Exploration

Explore the open-ended levels by waddling, sliding and swimming. Discover the mystery of what happened at your own pace. Freely explore the Antarctic ice and the caverns beneath in a non-linear order to find out what happened to the lost expedition of explorers. Discover horrors buried under the ice and the dark history of the continent time forgot. 

Play as Different Penguins

Unlock different penguins to replay the game as. Different penguins have different abilities and challenges. For example playing as a baby penguin means you can fit in smaller gaps but you cannot swim. 

Story

Our narrator is part of an expedition which has gone horribly wrong. Having been called by the old ones, his brain no longer experiences time linearly. Past, present and future have become one for him. The only thing who can hear his cry for help is you, a penguin awoken by a flare in the distance.
