Steam Store description

** * Read before purchase *** This is still a very early access game. The game currently has about 30% of the planned content. There are fish to rescue, garbage to recycle, hats to collect and machines to play with. Otherwise the islands are very empty. Basically what you see in the trailer is what you get. The next major content update is coming at the end of July. The game is still on track for full release in January 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 instructions. No interruptions. This is a game about exploration and experimentation . Go at your own pace. Use the monocular to search 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.
