Description
The Arctic Collection includes the original game; the 'Never Alone: Foxtales' DLC featuring a new story and three additional levels; and the game's original soundtrack.

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.

On over 75 "Best of 2014" lists and winner of "Best Debut Game" at the 2015 BAFTA Games Awards as well as "Game of the Year" and "Most Significant Impact" at the 2015 Games for Change Awards, nearly 40 Alaska Native elders, storytellers and community members contributed to the making of the game.

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.
  • Play as both Nuna and Fox — Switch between the two companions at any time with one button press, or play side by side in local co-op mode, as you rely on the unique skills of each character to succeed in your quest. Nuna can climb ladders and ropes, move heavy obstacles, and throw her bola at targets to solve puzzles. Fox can fit through small areas that Nuna can't reach, scramble up walls, and jump to great heights.
  • Brave the harsh world of the Arctic — Run under, through, and atop the unstable structures of an abandoned coastal village. Explore the eerily quiet treetops of a mysterious, frozen forest. Brave the fierce winds of the eternal blizzard. Only with the aid of Helping Spirits will Nuna and Fox have any chance of survival in a land where survival seems impossible.
  • Unlock fascinating video insights — Elders, storytellers, and other members of the Alaska Native community share stories and wisdom about their culture, values and the amazing Arctic world encountered by players in over 30 minutes of interviews.

Great story and art, clunky gameplay

I do really like the story and art style of this game. Unfortunately, the controls and the sometimes really stupid AI ruin the game experience somewhat. It's ok at first and you would think you can accept it. But the more difficult the puzzles get, the more these things are an issue and the more they regularly lead to unnecessary deaths. In addition, there are other little things causing frustration while playing the game, e.g. the collision detection. It's sometimes buggy and you bump into invisible walls or ceilings. Or the environment: it's sometimes hard to tell if it's decorative or part of the level. Sometimes you die on contact with environment, sometimes you can stand on and sometimes it's just background. I really tried to like this game, but in the end it felt like a death by thousand needles. I was glad it was not too long game. Would I recommend it? Well, yes, if you are into story, definitely give it a try! If you just want a platformer, there may be better games for you.

It is a wonderful game, the story is so good. It's not too long, but it's worth the prize tag. Very recommended :')

Terrible controls, dull gameplay

This game can ameze you right after it brings character swapping to the gameplay, this is the worst control in the game I've ever seen. I finish the game hoping that the story can be a little interesting, but no, it's a piece of something. It also does not run well on my machine, but in comparison Ori runs fine (similar game with much more complex graphics). I do not recommend to buy this game.

Painfully average

I'm not a fan of platformers, but if I play one, I expect at least something interesting: a gameplay twist like in FEZ or Braid, captivating visual style like in Limbo or Giana Sisters or at least some competent game design. Never Alone however provides nothing interesting. The platforming switches between painfully boring (basically nothing but jumping from platform to platform) and frustrating, when the controls don't work or the AI of the second character does something stupid and dies. The occassional puzzle is always easy to figure out but is usually hampered by the same issues. On top of that, the visuals are extremely sub-par. Look, even ice and snow can be made interesting, but this just isn't. I also take issue with the stark difference between how the game world actually looks, and the the art style that's used for cutscenes, spirits etc. The latter is pretty ugly by our standards, but at least it's unusual, so honestly I'd prefer if the whole game looked like that rather than the uninspired style it has. As for the educational part, that is handled by a series of videos. Why even bother to make a game that feels unrelated to that, I don't know. I'd rather see a 20-minute short animated movie based on this tale rather than play through the slog. It may sound harsh but I just find it really difficult to not be harsh to this game. Overall, this package feels like pretty everage edutainment for kids as the youngsters may have more patience with the sub-par controls and the overly simplistic gameplay may not be that much of an issue. But as a game for entertainment - there are way better options out there.
