Being a Penguin is a physics based exploration adventure about being or not being a penguin. Explore a beautiful frozen world and talk with other animals in order to figure out what makes them unique. Try to walk in their shoes and look at the world through their eyes. Bump and slide on frozen terrain in this physically based ragdoll game and enjoy the gorgeous views of the pinkish white frozen world!
Bree, the penguin who doesn't want to be a penguin, is:
- Curious, excited and light-hearted
- Very often late for penguin meetings
- Always exploring and having fun
- One of many other penguins living in this fictional animal world
- Feeling like she doesn't belong
- Eager to become someone else!
Play as Bree, a curious penguin who just wants to be someone else. She lives in a colony of hundreds other penguins. They have some things in common - she likes to eat fish, she loves watching the falling snow and she doesn't mind the cold just like her brothers and sisters. On the other hand, she hates water and swimming, loves doing silly things and just absolutely hates being a penguin. What if she could be a bear?
