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.”
