The Emperor Penguin Incident

The Emperor Penguin Incident

About the Game

About This Game

Deep in the minus 40-degree Antarctic interior, all communication with Chronos BioLab’s top-secret research facility, 'Amundsen-4', has been completely lost.
The final report sent to headquarters states that the entire crew has perished. The cause of this catastrophe? A ridiculous claim of an 'Emperor Penguin attack.'

You are a data archivist hired to clean up the mess.
While the corporation wants a 'plausible cover-up' to support this absurd official report, the truth you are about to face points in an entirely different direction.

You Know Nothing

  • There are no friendly guides or summarized clues.

  • Enter the provided access code and log into the station's database, where only an empty search bar awaits.

  • From now on, you must ask the right questions yourself.

Find and Combine Words from Texts

  • Carefully read through the remaining approval documents, corporate messengers, and time logs left in the system.

  • Spot suspicious words (names, places, objects) and drag & drop them into the search bar.

  • Combine two words to cross-reference and uncover hidden records and on-site audio logs that were meant to be concealed.

A Butterfly Effect Deadlier Than Monsters

This is not a simple creature thriller. It is a chilling black comedy where you observe how human selfishness and petty conflicts snowball within a confined space.

Trivial misunderstandings, greed, evasion of responsibility, and bizarre misjudgments.
You will witness every detail of how the crew's foolish mistakes—made to survive or simply to get a promotion—tangled together to drive the station to irreversible ruin.

A 2-Hour Time Attack and Multiple Endings

By the time you piece together the fragmented timeline, you will stand at a crossroads.
Based on the truth you have gathered during this short but intense 2-hour playthrough, you must make a final decision.

Will you permanently bury the traces of this absurd tragedy beneath the Antarctic ice?
Or will you accept the corporation's deceitful offer and claim a hefty reward?

The choice is yours.
