Never Alone: Kisima Ingitchuna

released on Nov 18, 2014

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is an atmospheric puzzle platformer and the first game to be developed in collaboration with the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people, drawn from a traditional story that has been shared across the generations. Nearly 40 Alaska Native elders, storytellers and community members contributed to the development of the game. It features two characters, and it can be played 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. You'll explore awe-inspiring environments, perform heroic deeds and meet legendary characters from Iñupiaq stories — all narrated by a master storyteller in the spoken Iñupiaq language.

I can see that there is some heart that went into it but the platforming was abysmal
I remember getting stuck on the geometry multiple times before giving up on this game forever
Mind you that I played this on Switch, it might perform better on other platforms, just not on this one

Never Alone is a beautiful and touching experience. It's based on an Alaskan Native folktale, and it shows. The snowy landscapes are stunning, the story is simple yet heartwarming, and the little documentary videos are super interesting. The platforming can be frustrating sometimes, and it's pretty short, but the cultural aspect and unique atmosphere make it worth playing. If you want something different and meaningful, give it a try.

I think this game is perfectly fine, I just mainly wish it was longer and had more gameplay variety. But, it's pretty and atmospheric, and the gameplay that is there is just fine, it serves its purpose.

It is a good puzzle and platforming game in addition to its interesting mini-documentary about the Iñupiat people and their way of life. This is the first time I got invested in documentaries in games.

That dark ice moving and crushing the player part (Ice Floes) infuriated the living out of me as I spawned outside of the camera over and over again. It also messed up the controls with my wireless controller because the game is setting it in coop mode by itself.

Um jogo muito charmoso rico em imagens e interpretações culturais. Outra maneira de guardar a memória.
