Reviews

“South Scrimshaw: Part One is a stunning visual novel that asks for nothing more than an hour or two of your time.”
PC Gamer

“An absolutely phenomenal bit of documentary storytelling that really immerses you in its underwater alien world and makes you deeply invested in the fate of an alien whale. Highly recommended.”
Alpha Beta Gamer

“Wildlife documentaries can be a life-affirming source of wonder. Equally, they can serve as a reality check, a reminder that nature is often as brutal as it is beautiful. It’s a potent combination – one which solo developer Nathan Marsh masterfully taps into with his debut game…”

About This Game

"The consciousness dawning inside of an aquatic egg is prodded alert.
It is a male whale calf, stirring with a newfound awareness of body."



South Scrimshaw uses the linear VN format to create a science fiction documentary about fictional science. It is composed of over 400 illustrations, painted in a mix of watercolor, ink, and digital media, set against a rich audio backdrop of music and sound effects.



This release contains four chapters, detailing one life from birth to the end of adolescence, along with world building details about the interplanetary human expedition.



"South Scrimshaw is made possible through the support of viewers like you. Thank you."
