Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)
PC,PS4, XB1
Another must play.
Seems really promising.
NP: A Link Between Worlds, Beneath a Steel Sky and Vampyr
Oh, I don’t know… A platformer where the ENTIRE game is an ice level?
It looks really good. Not every cinematic platformer needs to feel melancholic but Never Alone appears to be grounded in a folk lore that’s rarely explored. Could be unique.
Nice setting! Although the game doesn’t look too authentic to me. I’d like to read more info on the research they’ve done. Currently it looks like an “inspired by” platformer, very similar to an old Pocahontas game by Funcom.
PC means personal computer
I’ve been waiting for this game when I first heard about it almost a year ago. They are the first indigenous owned game company. http://www.polygon.com/features/2013/8/21/4594372/native-american-games

Can I call it now and say the fox will die? 
Recently completed: Game of Thrones (decent), Tales from the borderlands (great!), Life is Strange (great!), Stasis (good), Annas Quest (great!); Broken Age (poor)
For fans of games like Two Brothers, it is described as an ‘atmospheric puzzle platformer’ but I’m not sure if AdventureGamers will consider it an adventure. The gameplay is very similar to Two Brothers. No deaths - you can die but you are taken to the last checkpoint which is always very recent.
Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) is the first game developed in collaboration with the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people. Nearly 40 Alaska Native elders, storytellers and community members contributed to the development of the game. Play as a young Iñupiat girl and an arctic fox as they set out to find the source of the eternal blizzard which threatens the survival of everything they have ever known.
Guide both characters in single-player mode or play cooperatively with a friend or family member as you trek through frozen tundra, leap across treacherous ice floes, swim through underwater ice caverns, and face numerous enemies both strange and familiar in the journey to save the girl’s village.
Huh. I did a search beforehand and nothing came up. Oh well, not the first time that’s happened.

Consider both threads merged.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Never Alone is decent but not by far as good as Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Also I had a lot of technical problems (stability, control, graphical). But I loved the bonus videos about culture - I already had deep respect toward Inuit people, and now its even stronger.
NA needs to much precision and quick reflexes like needed in most platformers to be considered pure adventure, imho (it’s been a while since I played fast games so I was struggling in some places). The gameplay is quite different from TB - it’s a sidescroller and you control one character at time.
What’s more similar is Last Inua - 2D puzzle platformer also about Inuit culture. It was originally released on AppStore back in May, but couple of days ago also on Steam. So far I’m enjoying LI at least as much (edit: of course, right after I said I’m enjoying Last Inua, the next level I get is extremely frustrating floating! AAARGHH!).

I think both are intended to be played in co-op mode. Anyway I had the same experience as you - not quite as good as A Tale of Two Sons, but really nice anyway and some interesting cultural insights. I would have liked the gameplay in both games to be more puzzle-based rather than performing timed actions.

Timed actions in Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons were much more forgiving imho, it was easy game. But perfect as it was. Emphasis was on story, and puzzles didn’t ruin the rhythm.
But, Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons is single player only, no co-op. Never Alone and Last Inua are co-op ready.
