Good Documentary, Not-So-Good Game

“Never Alone” (translated from “Kisima Inŋitchuŋa” in the native language of the Northern Alaska Tribes) is a 2014 collaborative effort between Upper One Games and the native peoples of Northern Alaska, collectively called ‘Inupiak’ (a subculture of the more widely known Inuit) to share their culture with the wider world via the new medium of videogames. Lead by Inupiak historian and writer, Ishmael Hope, the project strove to blend education and entertainment in order to shed light on this little-known tribe, even as their way of life teeters on the brink due to the effects of climate change on their tribal lands. The result is an interesting documentary on the Inupiak people, with a beautiful but underwhelming game attached.
