Whelm

About the Game

*** Read before purchase ***

This is still a very early access game, so consider your purchase carefully.  The game currently has about 20% of the planned content. There are some big empty islands, vehicles, fish to rescue and hats to collect. There are no other missions and no ending at this stage. Just a sandbox to fool around in. But more content is being added constantly and the full release is on track for early 2027.

About:

Whelm is about a young penguin, washed up on a mysterious island. Once a thriving sanctuary, it has fallen into disrepair. Rescue animals, tidy up the island and repair machines.

No missions or levelling up. This is a game about exploration and experimentation. Go at your own pace. Use the monocular to scan the terrain or just pick a direction and go. Getting there is half the fun. Swim, run, slide, glide or even launch yourself from a cannon. 

Current Features:

Rescue Fish

If you see a fish on land, get the poor thing back to the ocean. Some methods are more efficient, but not so... gentle. It's your choice.

Clean Beaches

Junk can be found scattered around the island. Gather up any garbage you see and carry it to a recycling machine. If you get sick of carrying them one by one there are other ways, but you'll have to figure that out for yourself.

Repair Machines

You'll find useful machines around the island, but they may be broken or out of power. Batteries can be found or bought from vending machines. If a device still doesn't work, try shouting at it.
