About the Game

Penguin Lifter is a game where you work as a penguin lifter. A job in the fresh air, far from civilization, surrounded by adorable creatures — penguins. Here, it's just you, the snow, and the penguins...

PLOT

Struggling financially, you come across a new and unusual job — a penguin lifter. You are sent to a snow-covered island near Antarctica. The work is simple: your job is to help fallen penguins get back on their feet, as they are unable to do it themselves.

But the longer you stay on the island, the more questions begin to arise.

GAMEPLAY

A walking simulator with survival elements. Cold is your greatest enemy — you must seek out heat sources or return to your base to warm up. Earn money by doing your job and spend it on upgrading your base. You also have access to a snowmobile, allowing you to explore the island and travel across its open snowy landscape.
