Smart Visual Novel

"Does that thing exist?" - if you ask yourself that, the developers/writers must have done something right. South Srimshaw is a short & relaxing experience, thanks to the possibility to pause and save at every moment. Good knowledge of English is necessary.

Great Fictional Eco-Documentary

Not exactly a game, more like a slideshow, but an extremely well-written and fascinating story of an alien whale calf growing up on an Earth-like planet, presented like a nature documentary. Very imaginative and engaging, with a few clickable detours that fill in a bit of background on Earth and humans in this sci-fi setting. Most of it remains focused on the whale and his interactions with the many fascinating species of this other world, though. I very much hope there are more parts to this story in the future.

Wonderful Documentary

A fine mix of David Attenborough documentary and speculative evolution, an excellent way to spend an hour or two.

Well worth experiencing

A lovely short story in the style of a documentary follwing an imagionary whale calf through the eyes of a documentary team. I found this interesting little story very captivating. Lots of life changing events play out for the calf all very believable and exciting.

Whale I Never!

An interesting nature documentary with great hand-drawn artwork and an educational video style. The delivery is well done and the topic, although made up, is grounded enough with real science to sound realistic. As a visual novel there isn’t much interaction and it’s debatable whether a ‘video game’ is the right kind of format for this, but there’s a good mix of narration, audio and art styles. The story was captivating with emotional moments and a light touch of humour, ending with a promise of more to come.
