WHALIEN: Unexpected Guests

WHALIEN - Unexpected Guests is a charming adventure game set inside Fin, a mechanical whale that serves as both home and friend to its last resident, Ernest Hemingwhale. When a group of mischievous creatures called Squiddies invade Fin’s interior, Ernest embarks on a heartfelt journey to help his unusual home rid itself of these slimy intruders. The game’s world is vibrant and full of personality, featuring a variety of colorful locations and quirky characters that bring the whale’s inner workings to life.

This focused gameplay system encourages creative thinking and interaction with the rich, detailed world around Ernest. With an estimated playtime of two to three hours, WHALIEN offers an engaging, concise experience that blends thoughtful mechanics with a warm narrative about friendship, home, and unexpected guests.
