Upper One Games, E-Line Media
This game was developed with direct input from the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people. Players experience a gorgeously animated world as a young Iñupiat girl traveling with her arctic fox as they attempt to confront the “eternal blizzard” that threatens their way of life. “Iñupiat principles include coexistence between humans and wildlife, respect for nature, one another, and one's elders […], sharing food, songs, dance, and stories on a communal level, and cultivating a spiritual connection with the land. In short, community-informed selflessness,” writes Matt Peckham for Wired, “I learned all this from playing Never Alone, and I had a great time doing it.”
