I'm gonna say it - Penguin Colony is not a good game. It is not a deep game, and its commentary is surface level and somewhat offensive. It is badly coded with terrible collisions and level design, and it crashes. The models and art were good when they matched. The dialogue was well written. ++Music

Why, where the discussion is about colonialism, do the indigenous people repress the people who owned the land before them (the Great Old Ones) every century? Why are there Nazis in a story originally without Nazis, and why, if we're meant to dislike them, do they do nothing worse than archaeology?

I still have some reservations on Penguin Colony, but after finishing it I understand why there were Nazis and why we're collecting the words. I still have some major issues with gameplay decisions, but at least that is cleared up.

I think I am most upset that this clearly represents a promising collection of people's ideas, art, voice acting, writing, and social commentary, and it was delivered so poorly and with such little oversight or quality check that it falls apart like wet mush.

There is a lot to be said about Lovecraft and his eugenicist ideas (which aren't represented at all in his story Mountains of Madness), and the reviews all rave about how Penguin Colony discusses it in depth. All I have seen is that Nazis turn up and set up camp and go mad.

I really liked the photographs' artwork. The word collection has sparked interesting discussion with my friends. What made the most discussion though is the baffling choices. I hate to say it, but if it wasn't vibecoded or AI ideated, I have a real concern for what that implies for Origame Digital.

It's just a little search engine question. It's just a little code autocomplete. It's just an album cover. It's just the photos of my fends and family edited on my phone. It's just my dental records. It's just a silly video for the group chat. It's just a fan film on Kickstarter. It's just tiktok.

It's not that serious. I've just integrated and normalised it into every day-to-day segment of my life. It's only a technology that was made at the cost of tens of billions of dollars and thousands of neighbourhoods delivered into my home for free. Why do you care so much?

I've been listening to the voyager golden record. On one hand, it fills me with hope and pride of the human species. On the other I can't help but imagine what would happen if that disk were to arrive in the hands of the average human being. I doubt they'd even know it contained audio.
