ORIGAME DIGITAL and Fellow Traveller put a demo for Penguin Colony on Steam on June 5. The game is a Lovecraftian narrative horror title set in Antarctica in 1939, two years after H.P. Lovecraft's death. Players take the role of a penguin and watch as human explorers, split into two factions by the call of an ancient entity, break under mental pressure. The story draws on Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Out of Time, told from the penguin's point of view. Lenval Brown, the narrator of Disco Elysium, provides the game's narration. The full release is planned for PC on Steam in late 2026, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version to follow.
