About this game

Climb, slip, fall, and rage as you help Pavel Pinguinovich the Siberian Penguin scale a treacherous, frozen ice cliff and (hopefully) reunite with his family. #

Known for his “unusual intelligence,” Pavel’s been selected for a top-secret government experiment that accidentally made him as emotional as he is clever.

Thrown into the Gulag - he now must use a hammer and sickle he finds to climb his way back to freedom.

Every stretch of the climb brings new obstacles: crumbling ice, mocking commentary, and a prison guard who’s equal parts sarcastic life coach and heckler (Voiced by YouTuber ChubbierSnail). The Gulag may be no laughing matter, but the climb is no paradise either.

This physics-based climb is as philosophical as it is frustrating. You’ll grapple with questions about love, intelligence, and the meaning of resilience, all while trying not to throw your headset across the room.

Climb carefully, or don’t—either way, it’s going to be a memorable fall. #

Pavel’s Gulag Getout is a collaboration between Mindway and VR YouTuber Chubbier Snail
