I don't mind that it's a short game, an artistic game, a simple game, a one person project.
What I mind is that basic gameplay functionality is crap. Delayed inputs, refused inputs, events that have to occur in sequence or the game hangs, unexpected seuqences leading to death, the AI parter getting themselvers killed, wonky jumps... it's all janky as hell.
I'm happy to play your asrtistic game if there is a good, simple gameplay. This is not good but it sure is simple. It's just artistic. But a poor game.

This is not anywhere close to award winning as a game. This is award winning only because of culutural representation. It's just another checkbox for inclusivity. If I want to learn about this culture I can watch a documentary. I'm here to play a game and if that game teaches me things about the culture I'm all for it. But the game sucks. It makes me just not care to engage with it or the videos behind it. No thank you.

Bundle trash.

I wasn't able to enjoy the story because of the gameplay issues. The controls are very wonky and random while the game physics are inconsistent. With how unexpected and choppy the gameplay was, the crying characters got very annoying. The fox controlling platforms was slow and not explained well. The bola was not intuitive to throw, even on controller. The gameplay is very simple but most of the puzzles being invisible or not easily understood was confusing. For some of the puzzles, you had to know what to do beforehand or else the correct timing wouldn't come back and you have to start over.
I wanted to like the game because it looked like a cute co-op with a good story, but I ended up getting rage-baited by the gameplay.
*SPOILER*
Fox died too soon. :(

I started Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) expecting a charming, atmospheric puzzle platformer, and that’s exactly what it is at first. What I didn’t expect was how much more it would become once I began discovering the hidden collectibles.

Finding those unlockable video segments completely changed the experience for me. Going back to watch all of them and learn about the Iñupiat culture, stories, values, and daily life was genuinely moving. The game quietly transforms from “just another indie title” into something educational, heartfelt, and deeply respectful.

The gameplay itself is solid and enjoyable, the presentation is beautiful, and while the main playthrough is relatively short, that’s only part of the journey. The cultural insights elevate the entire experience and give the game lasting meaning well beyond its runtime.

I learned, I laughed, I enjoyed it, and by the end, I walked away with a real appreciation for the culture it shares. Truly great work.
