Never Alone isn't just a platforming game; it's an attempt to tell the story of a native American culture through a video game, from the point of view of a people often neglected and sometimes even mocked by entertainment media.
In this video, Polygon takes a look at how the game is stitched together using dual-character platform-puzzles, pretty animation and environmental art, as well as ancient story-telling techniques.
Upper One's Never Alone is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on Nov. 4.
