About

"Spirit of the North is a single player, 3rd-person adventure game inspired by the breathtaking and mysterious landscapes of Iceland. The story takes root from various pieces of Nordic folklore. The game is unique in that it purposefully has no dialog or narrative. Players must breathe in their surroundings to solve various puzzles and speculate the meaning of a lost ancient civilization. Play as an ordinary red fox who’s story becomes entwined with the guardian of the Northern Lights, a female spirit fox. As you journey over the mountains and under red stained skies you’ll discover more about your companion and a land left in ruin."

Storyline

Spirit of the North is a wordless, atmospheric adventure that unfolds entirely without dialogue or spoken narrative. The player takes the role of an ordinary red fox making its way through a lonely and windswept wilderness. After collapsing from exhaustion, the fox is touched by something greater than itself and awakens imbued with the powers of a spirit. Guided by this newfound connection to the mystical, the fox sets out across the sweeping landscape, its journey told purely through the environment, its movement, and the haunting score that accompanies it. What follows is a quiet, contemplative trek meant to be experienced rather than explained, leaving its meaning open to the player as the little fox ventures ever onward through the north.
