A lovely story made to feel like a nature documentary about a strange alien wale calf. more of a narrated storybook then anything but it is fully voiced and has excellent art. will only take an hour and a half for you to view/listen to all the content i'm aware of, the author is working on a part 2 and i excitedly wait for it. it's free to experience both here on steam or through many youtubers, i so enjoined it that way and i came here to buy it because it's that good (had to buy the DLC because it's offered here for free) but figured i had the time to spend playing it just now.
