Never Alone: Ki Edition

"Ki" is a mobile game that allows players to experience the award-winning indie hit, Never Alone, on the go. The game is based on the Iñupiaq culture and language, with the title "Ki" meaning "Let's Go!" in Iñupiaq. Developed in collaboration with the Iñupiat, an Alaska Native people, the game follows the epic journey of Nuna and Fox as they search for the source of an eternal blizzard that threatens their survival.

As players guide both characters through frozen tundra, treacherous ice floes, and underwater caverns, they will encounter both familiar and strange enemies. The game has received critical acclaim, appearing on over 75 "Best of 2014" lists and winning awards such as "Best Debut Game" and "Game of the Year." The game's development involved the contributions of nearly 40 Alaska Native elders, storytellers, and community members.

Never Alone: Ki Edition has been reimagined for mobile devices, with all levels and features from the original game included. The game has been optimized for touch controls and features updated graphics and AI. Players can switch between Nuna and Fox, each with their own unique skills, to solve puzzles and progress through the game.

The game's setting is the harsh world of the Arctic, where players must navigate through an abandoned coastal village, a frozen forest, and the fierce winds of the eternal blizzard. To aid in their journey, players can call upon Helping Spirits for assistance. Additionally, the game features over 30 minutes of interviews with Alaska Native elders and community members, providing insights into their culture and values.

Players can also customize their controls and choose from 17 different languages, including Iñupiaq, to play the game in. Whether playing on a mobile device or with a physical controller, players can fully immerse themselves in the beautiful and challenging world of Never Alone: Ki Edition.
