Spirit of the North

Spirit of the North is a single-player third-person adventure game inspired by the breathtaking and mysterious landscapes of Iceland. The story takes root from various pieces of Nordic folklore, with a deliberately wordless presentation: no dialog, no narration, just environment and animation carrying the story.

You play an ordinary red fox whose story becomes entwined with the guardian of the Northern Lights, a magical female spirit fox. As you journey over the mountains and under red-stained skies, you discover more about your companion and the land left in ruin. Players must breathe in their surroundings to solve various puzzles and speculate the meaning of a lost ancient civilization.

The game offers ancient powers bestowed by the guardian of the Northern Lights for environmental puzzles, a moving orchestral soundtrack featuring 14 original compositions, and an emotionally stirring path across stunning landscapes. GamingBolt called it touching and memorable; TechRaptor called it a journey well worth taking.
