    Never Alone is a glimpse into the real lives of Alaska Natives, and it's a peek at a different kind of fairy tale.

    Half-platform, half-documentary Never Alone uses videogames as an expressive medium to get us in touch with a civilization that has been dealing with nature's hardships for centuries. If you choose to ignore its short duration, you will find that you will learn a valuable lesson or two from its simple yet effective storytelling.

    Never Alone is quite a short game, but its charm, coupled with the opportunity to explore a culture you might not know much about, makes it utterly captivating.

    A jump and run with puzzles. Average gameplay, but great story and atmosphere.

    A nice and interesting experiment, even though it's a bit expensive.

    With a game like Never Alone, the grade system has its limits. Anyone who will be transported by this timeless story, escaped from a storybook, will probably forgive the various gameplay issues... the others probably won't.

    Frequent and infrequent players alike should avoid it, for no amount of narrative sincerity makes up for this exercise in mechanical frustration.

The game is part story-playing, part documentary, and even if it is short by industry standards, it's a game quite inventive, with strong theme about friendship, courage and respect that you can play with your kids.

    Kann mir außerdem nicht wirklich vorstellen wie das Spiel im Singleplayer ordentlich spielbar sein soll.

    3 бала, для меня это: ты жмёшь alt+f4 и удаляешь игру как можно скорее.

    Это просто невообразимая поделка на игру... элементы платформера
    3 бала, для меня это: ты жмёшь alt+f4 и удаляешь игру как можно скорее.

    Это просто невообразимая поделка на игру... элементы платформера выполнены ужасно. Ты вечно не до прыгиваешь куда надо. В игре много багов, при смерти, камера может вообще улететь за пределы и не вернутся, и ты будешь умирать до бесконости и камера не будет возвращатся на место... в общем игра бесит тебя буквально всем, потому что всё сделано криво и банально не работает. Ужас, даже за бесплатно не надо!
