How do you observe up a sport like Umurangi Generation? Possibly transfer from pictures to videography, or go full shooter (which developer Origame Digital do appear to be making too, that one’s simply not had a full reveal but). Maybe as a substitute of both of these issues, you will make a sport about penguins, which, yeah, no extra beating across the bush, that is precisely what they’ve carried out. Introducing: Penguin Colony, a story adventure sport primarily based on H.P. Lovecraft’s On the Mountains of Insanity.
The sport’s Steam page explains that it is a “radically totally different perspective” from the unique piece of literature, partly since you play as a penguin who hears the “echoes of our narrator describing his plight.” It is wanting prefer it’s considerably level-based too, letting you waddle, slide, and swim round, discovering what occurred “at your individual tempo.” A fairly chill sounding time for a sport with such heavy supply materials!
Oh, and the narrator is not having a good time, his mind experiencing outing of order after being referred to as by “the previous ones,” leaving you, a easy penguin, the one one that may assist him. Great things.
There even appears to be an appropriate quantity of gaminess to it too, as you’ll be able to unlock totally different penguins for replays. All of them have totally different skills and challenges too, one in every of them being a child penguin so you’ll be able to slot in smaller gaps, however you’ll be able to’t swim.
Look, Umurangi Technology is up there as one in every of my video games of the last decade, so I will be right here day one at any time when it does drop. Over on the Umurangi Technology Discord server, lead developer Veselok mentioned {that a} trailer and demo shall be turning up within the coming months, so my recommendation is to wishlist the sport on Steam for those who’re fascinated with checking it out.
