Penguin Colony game re-examines Lovecraft's colonial themes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Penguin Colony is a Lovecraftian horror game developed by ORIGAME DIGITAL, led by Naphtali Faulkner. The game aims to re-examine Lovecraft's themes of cosmic indifference and colonialism, while also addressing the author's problematic history of racism. Players experience the narrative through the perspective of a complicit narrator and a Kaitiaki, offering a dual historical viewpoint. The development team is primarily solo with contracted indigenous artists, and the project has been in development for two years. AI
