Overview

About this game

Nothing meant anything. Everything was the same: the sounds, the walks, the stares. Then a task appeared in your head. It wasn’t clear. It didn’t make sense. But it was enough. For your dreams, you had to be a lone penguin. Because maybe this whole walk is meant to uncover a secret that’s been waiting for years.

Being a Penguin

This is the story of a penguin who keeps asking questions. Enter dialogues with humans and penguins. People are watching you. It’s a strange feeling. But you’re used to it now.

Explore, Walk, Keep Going

The poles look vast, cold, and empty. Complete mini-tasks, overcome courses, chart your route with the map, visit research stations, open ice fields, and quiet spots. Your dreams may feel far away. But you keep moving forward.

Sometimes not thinking is best. Fish on the ice. Break the rhythm. Set off again.

2027

There are small clues everywhere. But the voice in your head keeps saying the same thing: 2027. Maybe the question is more important.

Nothing means anything. Yet you’re here. But why? Welcome.
