Here is what the page “Umurangi Generation Studio Origame Digital Blocks New Game Penguin Colony from Sale in Isr” contains. Origame Digital, the New Zealand-based studio behind the critically acclaimed photography game Umurangi Generation, has released its new title Penguin Colony but is refusing to sell it in Israel. The studio says the decision is intended to demonstrate solidarity with Palestine. Penguin Colony, a whimsical game about managing a penguin settlement, is now available on Steam globally except in Israel, where the store page is blocked.
Origame Digital has not specified whether the block is temporary or permanent, but the move aligns with the studio’s history of political expression in its games. Umurangi Generation, released in 2020, won praise for its anti-colonial themes and environmental messaging. By restricting sales, the studio is using its distribution platform as a form of protest, joining a small but growing number of indie developers who have taken similar stances.
