Leaving Early Access: Q1 2027

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Whelm is a sandbox. The story is secondary. It makes sense to involve players early so the most popular features can really shine.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will focus on the non-linear, individual mechanics.

In the full version I plan to add a narrative and a local split screen co-op mode. But plans can change.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to "Current Features" in the "About This Game" section. ”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price is an indication of the current level of content. It will gradually increase with major content and feature updates.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Players can provide feedback and feature requests in the Steam community hub.”

About This Game

*** Read before purchase ***

The game currently has about 50% of the planned content and no ending. If you want to play through in one sitting, I recommend waiting for the full release in Feb 2027.


About:

Whelm is about a young penguin, washed up on a strange island after a giant flood. No instructions. No interruptions. This is a game about exploration and experimentation. If you enjoy discovering things at your own pace and messing around with physics, this game is for you.
