But Why Penguin?

But Why Penguin? is a story about a lone penguin who sets out to uncover a secret that has been waiting for years. A task appears in the penguin’s head, though it is unclear and makes little sense. The penguin keeps asking questions and moving toward its dreams.

Explore the poles

You explore vast, cold, empty landscapes, complete mini-tasks and overcome courses. Use a map to chart your route, visit research stations, and open up ice fields and quiet spots. You can also fish on the ice before setting off again.

Meet the inhabitants

You enter dialogues with humans and penguins. People watch you, an unsettling feeling that the penguin has grown used to.

Clues and questions

Small clues appear throughout the journey, while a voice in the penguin’s head keeps repeating “2027.” The game leaves open whether that date or the question itself matters more.
