"This act is intended to demonstrate solidarity with Palestine" - Umurangi Generation studio blocks new game Penguin Colony from being sold in Israel
Origame Digital, the studio behind 2020's critically acclaimed Umurangi Generation, has just released a new game but banned it from being sold in Israel.

Penguin Colony review - the least expected Soulslike you'll play, and a cracking parody of Lovecraftian empires
Penguin Colony is probably the best pisstake of Lovecraft and Lovecraftian horror I've played. It's the best because it places Lovecraft's universe at a creaturely remove, amplifying its absurdity without having to drop any punchlines.

There aren't really a lot of games about these flightless birds, and they're normally on the sillier side when there are because penguins are funny little critters. Penguin Colony, the next game from the devs behind Umurangi Generation, doesn't completely abandon that silliness, but it does throw in some
