Never Alone – Review
True, it’s been a few your since it came out but still, I’d like to review this interesting game. Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is a puzzle platformer that follows a young Iñupiat girl named Nuna and a white fox as they journey through Northern Alaska to find the source of the blizzard that has wreaked havoc on her home village.
The game has both single and co-op capabilities as you play as either the girl or fox. I was unable to test out the co-op mode, but I imagine it would have made a few puzzles significantly simpler.

The feature that makes Never Alone stand out from other puzzle platformers such as Night Lights, Contrast, and Trine, is its narrative.

The game in its entirety is a story being told.
