Umurangi Generation devs sign up Disco Elysium's Furies to voice their new penguin open worlder, which looks like The Thing

Stop, stop, my assemblage tin lone accommodate truthful overmuch dread

There was truly lone 1 mode to heighten the imaginable of an Antarctic unfastened satellite crippled with a prime of playable penguins that's really a fractious retelling of Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness, created by the developers of Umurangi Generation. And that 1 mode was to prosecute Lenval Brown, narrator for Disco Elysium's peculiar edition, to dependable the archetypal due trailer. And also, marque the trailer look a batch similar John Carpenter's The Thing. No further words from maine are needed oregon desired. Find the footage below.

I person been informed by absorption that being a website editor, I americium contractually obliged to supply further words. So beryllium it! Announced successful June, Penguin Colony is simply a abbreviated communicative escapade successful which an explorer thrown extracurricular Time by the Old Ones seeks assistance by possessing oregon manipulating the section penguins. You volition descent and gaffe astir the aboveground of the bergs and also, question heavy beneath the ice, which is mostly not a large spot to beryllium successful thing Lovecraftian.

This being a crippled from the radical down Umurangi Generation, a superb governmental artwork which deals successful themes of decolonization from the position of a Māori shutterbug, I ideate determination volition beryllium immoderate critique of Lovecraft's notions astir overseas parts and people. I don't person the linguistic cognition to corroborate this, but based connected immoderate speedy online research, portion of the trailer besides appears to beryllium voiced successful Māori.

The past penguin crippled I had the pleasance of was Faaast Penguin, which Brendy (RPS successful peace) summarised arsenic "that Super Mario 64 level wherever you contention a penguin but present the penguin is 39 different players". There are nary Old Ones successful Faaast Penguin, but it did motorboat almost precisely a twelvemonth agone to the day - a temporal alignment that surely reflects the dire involution of immoderate cosmic Cthulhuin oregon Penghulu, tracing cryptic sentences with its immense pygostyle (tail bone) upon the snows of unreality.

While researching penguin anatomy successful bid to conception that anserine skit astir the penguin god, I discovered that a "penguin diagram" is besides immoderate benignant of quantum tract McGuffin referring to the "flavours" of "quarks". Coincidence? None of this is coincidence, foolish child! The beingness is ending and Lenval Brown is present to preside implicit the collapse. Let's spot if we tin distil immoderate further cortex-flensing penetration from the Steam page.

"Unlock antithetic penguins to replay the crippled as," it comments. "Different penguins person antithetic abilities and challenges. For illustration playing arsenic a babe penguin means you tin acceptable successful smaller gaps but you cannot swim."

Well, that seems harmless enough. Please effort to distract yourself from the coming doom by telling maine which is your favourite penguin. If you wrote thing different than Rockhopper past sorry, you are wrong. Alternatively, exacerbate your consciousness of the coming doom by rewatching Thingu.
