By pairing game developers with Iñupiaq storytellers, Upper One Games hopes to tell a human story via the video game medium. In Never Alone you play the role of a young girl who explores the fantastical worlds of Iñupiaq lore and tries to save her people from an endless blizzard.
Never Alone is set for release in the fall of 2014 on the PC platform and on as yet un-announced consoles.
From the Devs:
Upper One Games paired world class game developers with Alaska Native storytellers and elders to create Never Alone (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa), a game based on stories that have been handed down for thousands of years. A game which delves deeply into the traditional lore of the Iñupiat people to present an experience like no other. An atmospheric puzzle platformer of wondrous adventure. A game of survival in a place where survival shouldn't be possible. A game that opens a gateway to explore what it means to be human.
