An evocative work, telling us an old Iñupiaq tale through a dynamic and touching story and an all-beautiful adventure rich of symbolism and significance, with two outstandingly characterized main characters. It will win your love.

Never Alone offers a good insight in the position of folklore within the Iñupiat community, that lives in parts of Alaska. As a puzzle platformer it made an impression by using blizzards and melting ice platforms as part of the gameplay. The AI and puzzles are a bit less impressive.

Never Alone is a beautiful puzzle game about the Iñupiat people that focuses on a young girl and her fox that is beautifully told through story.

There’s a land of wondrous play and exploration somewhere in this premise, but Never Alone isn’t it.

Quotation forthcoming.

We can't wholly recommend its gameplay, but as a vessel for an endangered culture, it's a worthy project. [Jan 2015, p.88]

Never Alone isn’t without its merits. Telling an interesting story of a dying culture, it’s a hugely flawed game that manages to conjure warmth in the icy cold.
