2014 has been one of the best years ever for indie development, with 2D side-scrollers being a clear favourite with developers when it comes to genre. While there have been some real gems released this year such as Shovel Knight, Rogue Legacy and Valiant Hearts: The Great War, it could be argued that the genre is becoming a little stale within the indie scene. Now to round off the year is Never Alone, a 2D platformer that was developed in collaboration with native Alaskan people, known as Iñupiats. An interesting partnership you might think, but does this translate into a quality game? In the case of Never Alone, unfortunately not.
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.
I love this game was a lot of fun to play co op with my daughter i would give it a 8 or 9 out of 10...
