Never Alone: Ki Edition
- and quite brilliant. 10/10.”
- Eurogamer
“Ki” is the Iñupiaq word for “Let’s Go!”, and now you can play the award-winning indie hit on the go with Never Alone: Ki Edition.
Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) 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. 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.
Guide both characters 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 Never Alone.
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.

OH MY GOD!!! This game is spectacular! It gives you a sense of worry, excitement, anger, sadness, and surprise all at the same time! It is so well developed and I really hope you guys make more games like this one! The ending, which really brings everything the girl and the fox spirit has done together in a beautiful circle and does make you cry that this game is finished. I enjoyed this game so much and I hope everyone does as well!
Thie game's graphics is awesome.StoryLine is fantanstic.Good controls.seriously if you are adventure type, perhaps this game takes the number one spot.
Really enjoyable game! Beautiful graphics, wonderful storytelling, and also educational.
Horrible. On 'Whale Spirit', when i was supposed to swing on the spirit helpers arms, there was only *1* spirit helper. I've seen every playthrough of this chapter I found and on every single on there was TWO spirit helpers. Now i can NEVER EVER get past this level because of yalls damn mistake or whatever. I RESTARTED MY PHONE, EXITED THE GAME THEN RE-ENTERED, but still there was only ONE helper! I hope you FIX THIS SOON. No. I don't HOPE you do. You BETTER fix this game or I'll yEll...
So excited at the potential of this game to share the wisdom of the storytellers! Beautiful graphics and great game play!
Stunning game. A beautiful way to preserve a story and to learn more about a culture
I found this game challenging and rewarding. I watched the cultural insights on YouTube, uploaded by the user name Urr Turr. I live in Barrow and am Iñupiaq, so it was especially an honorable experience to learn and hear stories from people I wouldn't otherwise have been able to, given the new society we survive in.
This is one of the most beautiful apps I've ever seen. It is also very engaging and relaxing.
Omg it's a beautiful story I put the game on my yt channel and my subscribers loved the game so great job guys🤗🙂👍💯💯
very good story and game would high recommend. would like additional sequal to be made
Heartfelt story with unique gameplay and art style
It made me cry call me what you want im all man, but im still a human being with feelings, please keep making games like these please! I will buy ever last game until i go broke! No one should have no negative reviews at all about this game FACTS!
Just wow, this is one of the best, if not The best, game on the play store.
Awesome game. Already completed all the levels.
Absolutely spectacular game, I'm lost for words.
Good gameplay but Too short story
Amazing Graphics and Smooth Gameplay
I like this game and very interested it is my favorite game for ever
Beautiful and full of wisdom
One of the best games out there
It is a great app
I love the voice of the storyteller, love the motions of the animals, love it all so far. Only one thing bugs me: The exaggerated vignette effect, I understand why it is used (isolation, draw the player in) but I think a good vignette effect is evident without being so obvious. The visuals are beautiful, don't hide them to much!
Fun game, but laggy framerate and controls at times which leads to some frustrating platforming. Started noticing this especially in the whale area / swimming sequence. Using a Nexus 6p, and I would've thought that would be enough for this based on performance of other games with more complex visuals.
The controls are hard to use even on a 5 inch device, so be prepared to be interrupted constantly in your progress by bad steering of the game's two characters. This gets pretty frustrating by the end of the game. Other than that it's worth playing this small game as it explores the culture of the Inuit nicely and features astonishing graphics.
Sloppy controls make it nearly unplayable. Suicidal buddy AI keeps undoing my progress. Plenty of bugs. Requires an internet connection to watch the educational documentary videos which were the point of the game. Completed in less than 3 hours. Looks pretty, but I cannot recommend.
Maybe it's related to the device you play this game on, I use a GALAXY tab S2, but the controls are terrible when quick action is needed. Climbing walls etc has become frustrating and kills the fun of the otherwise nicely designed game. Graphics are it's strongest point.Perhaps a ps4 is a better choice to play it. Lowered score to 1 star, as you move further in the game it just gets worse to control the fox and girl. The fun should be to find out what to do, not to try 80+ times to make a jump before you succeed. Maybe it's not compatible with some 8 inch tablets.
Some sections are almost impossible to pass due, like the Whale Spirit level's swingrope.
A lovely game in terms of its art, story, and graphics, plus the cultural insights were nice to see. The puzzle design was alright, but the controls and collision boxes were janky, difficult, and unintuitive, which took a lot away from the experience for me and left me feeling frustrated rather than immersed.
