PENGUIN COLONY: Why this cute penguin game isn't what it seems at first glance

Tali Faulkner (UMURANGI GENERATION) has a lot to say about our colonial history and the people whose lives have been touched by it. In PENGUIN COLONY you control a variety of different penguins across a frozen land as you discover the deep story of Māori cultural history and cool PS1 era graphics. The penguins are a metaphor mate.

In this episode of Lightmap we learn about the how this modern first nations story is told and why Tali feels a responsibility to tell stories through games.
