Behind The Scenes at Never Alone

Penned for release in Autumn 2014 for Xbox One. Never Alone (also known as “Kisima Ingitchuna“ in the Alaska Native language Iñupiaq) is an atmospheric puzzle platformer that mixes traditional folklore, stories, settings, and characters passed down over many generations by the Native people of Alaska.

In Never Alone, the player will take on the roles of Nuna, a young Iñupiat girl and an Arctic fox. The visuals look striking and the imagery and themes are drawn directly from Iñupiat and other Alaska Native cultures.
