Summary
Experience the epic journey of Nuna and fox as they search for the source of an eternal blizzard that threatens the survival of everything they have ever known.
Never Alone is an atmospheric puzzle platformer developed in collaboration with the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people, drawn from a traditional story that has been shared across the generations. Guide both characters in single-player mode or play cooperatively with a friend as you trek through frozen tundra, leap across treacherous ice floes, swim through underwater caverns and face enemies both strange and familiar.

Despite the game’s AI issues, Never Alone is definitely worth playing—maybe with another person. It’s a very short game and can be finished in two or three sessions. But it’s the educational aspect that I appreciated most, and I imagine you will, too.
Unfortunately, it falls short in its ambitions as a game, particularly when it comes to control and performance. An abundance of glitches, occasional framerate issues, and some truly dodgy collision detection make this puzzle platformer a difficult one to recommend. If you've got enough patience you'll probably be able to mine for the diamonds in the rough - but the easily frustrated should steer far clear.
The controls may not be perfect and the gameplay isn’t the most exciting, but the storytelling is the selling point here. For that reason alone, Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is worth sticking with. We could all do with a bit more education in our lives, and what better way to learn about a culture than through a video game?
