Never Alone is a unique puzzle platformer with a rather fascinating development background. After collaborating with about forty members of a native Alaskan tribe, Upper One Games crafted a folklore inspired game about the journey of a girl and an arctic fox as they travel to find the source of an eternal blizzard. Playable in either single player or co-op, the journey will take the duo through an atmospheric winter wonderland as they work together to overcome obstacles and enemies, all of which will be narrated by an indigenous master storyteller.
Already the recipient of numerous awards from its releases on other platforms, Never Alone will be making its way to the North American Wii U eShop on 25th June. The announcement was made via Twitter a few days ago, but unfortunately the developer still has nothing new to say on the European release.

I've played this game for the PS4. It is a great and beautiful game. I highly recommend it to everyone, especially if you love games with beautiful sorry, and backstory. I hope they keep the videos that show the people who created it and their native pride.
Very nice, hopefully it'll arrive in EU at some point.
I got it for free on PS4 a month or 2 ago (PS Plus). It is very interesting, especially the documentary bits with the native Enuit tribes. The game itself didn't hold my interest till the end, so i never finished it.
But it is definitely worth a look.
Everyone forgets Canada exists.
I forget how good cornflakes taste.
Price?
This looks beautiful. I hope we see it in EU soon.
Looks like a good game, but I'll probably be holding out on purchasing for a good while since I already have a huge backlog of good games I need to play. No reason to spend any more money than I have to.
@Tsuchinoko There actually is a land called Ca-na-dah?!? I thought that place was the setting for a next Tomb Raider or Uncharted game! Huh, i learn something new everyday on this site!
I played the PS4 port, and personally, I really disliked the game. The graphics are actually really good, and the characters were interesting, but the controls were clunky and awful, the pacing was just terrible, and there are far too many bugs to make this an enjoyable experience. If it were up to me to give it a score, I'd say that 6/10 is pretty generous, maybe more along the lines of 4/10.
However, it definitely does have some charm to it, and before playing it, my expectations were pretty freaking high. One man's trash is another man's treasure; I see so many reviewers scoring this game 8/10, or even 10/10, so I'm probably in the minority thinking that this game wasn't as good as they say (and who knows, maybe they fixed some of those things in the Wii U version). Either way, I'd wait for a sale before buying this game.
If this game plays as well as it look then I'm in. I'll wait for the review from NL first though to find out.
Take a chance people, take a chance
Looks beautiful. I might just jump at this one for Wii-U
Looks amazing, I'll definitely be getting it at some point.
So I have to get this, Star Fox Command AND Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time? This week's gonna hurt.
@bro2dragons What's all this talk about SF Command and Mario & Luigi?! Are those coming this week?
@MitchVogel
It was on Steam for 6 Euros yesterday.
This game is really good with 2 players. It's even a game you can play with someone who doesn't have much skill as you can help them a lot. It's a really nice coop game.
Have it on PC but will double dip.
Played it on my PS4 (PS+), fantastic game if you're into cultural stuff. This game also include 20+ short clips that explains the Alaskan native's culture and ways of life.
Wow, that's soon! I forgot all about this one.
On the wish list you go!
