    In NORTH you play a man who applies for asylum in a city filled with strange creatures and strange customs.

    Dealing with the issue of the contemporary refugee crisis while at the same time being deeply rooted in a classical cyberpunk atmosphere à la Blade Runner, NORTH features a dark synthpop soundtrack, a sprawling mega-city and weird monster-like inhabitants.

    The gameplay is very straightforward and mostly consists of exploration and simple puzzles. The main difficulty is to understand what you have to do in order to get asylum. You've come from an foreign land in the south and find yourself lost and confused - a confusion you convey through letters to your sister back home.

    An important part of the gameplay, these letters help you understand your tasks while at the same time moving the narrative of the game forward.

    With smart writing, an incredibly off-putting atmosphere, and a low enough price and run time to fit into anyone’s schedule, NORTH is a little game that you’ll remember for a long time.

    This is one of those games that is quite hard to describe. It's different and hard to understand, but if you're interested in its concept and theme, it may end up being a nice surprise.

    Visually interesting and filled with good intentions this interactive experiment lacks depth and direction.
