NORTH

Unsettling, unique, and thought-provoking. I am so glad works like this are part of what gaming is now.

I played this game with Nintendo Switch. It was a really pleasur to appreciate the level design and the ambiant. Remind me 1984 by George Orwell.

Those differents levels with so strange structure are wonderful. The soundtrack was also a hit.

Except the controllers with the switch, the game is very good

wow, so I paid money for this absolute garbage on switch, which is totally unoptimized and has nothing other than a weakly threaded together 2deep4u plot (yet incredibly on the nose and obvious) and literally NO gameplay to speak of other than plodding around unlit, undecorated corridors to solve puzzles that a four year old could probably handle...I think, hey, maybe if i contact the developer through twitter somebody can at least apologize for wasting my time. nope, devs are too spineless to maintain a public profile.  find this page only to see that this piece of shit is being given away for free after I paid for it? no way to get a refund on switch either. fucking terrible. never make one of these "games" again.

This game is anything but enjoyable. I understand that there is art in it, and I see what they’re trying to do with the whole immigration thing, but it’s awful. Slow moving from the start, you go into some places, hit some things, and sort of kinda begin to understand this. Again, I realize it’s meant to be this way. You make your way through the game, I applaud you if you never used a walkthrough, I sure as hell did for the cameras and a bunch of other things. They did a poor job making the game, crashes 1/2 the clicks, and lags way too much. Additionally, this game should have been free on the switch just like on windows, mainly because the mines didn’t even work on the switch, no hint of which button you press to go faster, way too little time, bob knowledge of the healing bay, all until an update. Also, when you finish the game, you kind of have to close it. Not sure why. I like the story and how it works, but not the crashes, etc. please email me at driscollowen@gmail.com if you have any input or such  

What's most scary is this has been and in some places still is a reality.

My edited gameplay  of North

Tried to play the game, unfortunately got stuck at the picture of human face muscles and since I tried everything I could think of to look somewhere else, it just didn't work (I'm not a skilled gamer nor technician though). I closed the app and reopened it, but my adhd ass didn't let me sit through the intro again.

Another neat experience Outlands. Very bleak and oppressive both in terms of the atmosphere and story. Dark but highly enjoyable stuff.

Bought this ages ago but forgot to finish it. I finally did and it was awesome :)

The 'gamey' parts weren't very interesting to me, but I really like the style and mood. Especially the intro sequence and the end are beautiful. The way the story is told through letters only after you've done something worked surprisingly well.

How do you play the game???????? -_- -o- +_+

Absolutely loved this game! Put it at the top of my latest game list.

Strange game! I kind of broke it in the end, but it was an interesting experiece!

Part 2 of the strangest game I've ever played. Still loved it though!

One of the strangest game's I've ever played but also one of the most interesting.

Still very impressive game!

And the intro is just super emotional:

I also made a German language LP:

Any chance of a Mac version?

The dark, brooding city is a character in itself. At every turn you are made to feel like a stranger in a strange land, and it never gets any easier.

Quite unlike any other game out there, its art direction and music are spectacular. Go check it out for yourselves.

I wish the developers the best of luck in their future projects, can't wait to explore the strange new worlds you conjure up.

I definitely don't have enough time to get all of the stones at the mines. Maybe this is because of lag? I see videos where people gather all of the stones without backtracking to the entrance even once.

no credit card payment option?

cool never played but now i can!!

Really nice Game, loved the experience. Is this game symbolysing the immigration of people from texas to the usa? It felt like it to me even though i know very little about the topic as a european. Can somebody tell me what the mother stands for? Capitalism?

hey, how do i stop the game crashing at startup, what are the minimum requirements to run it?

This game has been absolutely beautiful. The game-play keeps you hooked, while the intriguing storyline and the strange environment put shivers through your spine. This was the best game that I have ever played from itch.io. Marvelous!

Really interesting game. The atmosphere is quite... unsettling. I really like the letters as a form of instructions.

Absolutely beautiful. Honestly I'd rate this one a must play for 2016 b/c it hits on a lot of the major sociopolitical themes that've come up this year (in the West, at least.)

The aesthetic brilliance didn't hurt, either.

You might want to warn of the flashing images in the scene on the third level - I wasn't expecting it, though flashing images don't bother me I know they're an actual medical issue for people with epilepsy. Wouldn't be too much of a spoiler to just make a note of it in the description I think.

Anyways this is one of my favorite free experiences I've had ever. Amazing job.

A breathtaking look at a dystopian alien society. Though maybe not so different then our own.

I saw this game at the A Maze! I'm glad I revisited it after just spending some minutes with it. Very atmospheric and surreal. Thanks for the experience!

After I died in the mine, I couldn't concentrate (accelerate) the next time I went there (is that a bug?), and I couldn't complete the challenge. Also when I quit (Alt+F4) and started the game again, it hadn't saved my progress. Is there a menu somewhere?

Fantastic. We need more things like this in the indie community.

Watch it here

I liked having to figure things out on my own, I really felt like a stranger to a foreign land, though sometimes the task required wasn't clear enough and it lead to some frustrations that put a bad taste in my mouth.

Specifically there's a task where you dont get a note telling you what you need to do until after you've done it. With the only connection being that one of the things in the city is sleeping. A large leap of logic at par with a point and click adventure.

Still it looked incredible, and the mood set was grand. Totally worth a try if you're thinking about giving it a download.
