Polygon:
"Never Alone wants to fill a gap.
From Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? to Oregon Trail, the power of games as teaching tools has been demonstrated countless times through the years. But puzzlingly, edutainment has remain mainly the purview of games aimed at kids.
Never Alone isn’t a textbook-style interactive CD-ROM, but it enrobes a fascinating cultural survey with a candy coating of game mechanics. The story and heritage developer Upper One Games and publisher E-Line Media is distinct, and its presentation is made with care. But the platformer built to help make this education easier to swallow is a little bitter."
Starting today, Beyond Blue and Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) are free at Epic Games Store. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
As Never Alone brings its beautiful storytelling and immersive gameplay to Nintendo Switch, there are hints of a sequel being in development. Hell, there’s even a teaser for Never Alone 2 inside the port’s launch trailer.
The 1st game was fantastic.

1) hints? you mean the Devs telling you at the end of the trailer 2nd game is in pre production, that's not a hint ffs lol.
2) a teaser is NOT a number 2 at the end lol.
That would be awesome. I live in Alaska so it's always nice to see it talked about or shown in games.
E-Line Media and the Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) announced today that the indie game Never Alone is featured in the Smithsonian Institution’s upcoming Futures Exhibition.
