A meditative, illustrated documentary that invites you to experience the slow, sensory awakening of a whale calf through lush watercolor visuals and a rich soundscape.

What players say
Players describe it as a hand-drawn speculative biology documentary, comparable to a David Attenborough film set on an alien world. The art and writing are widely praised, though some note it ends abruptly and part two has not been announced years after release.
