Game 1-Never Alone

First game I played was 'Never Alone', already the opening sequence had me hooked, it fits very well with the music which makes it very mysterious and captivating. I liked that the game gave me me a bit of insight of the Inupiat native people before I started my quest, I found that very interesting. The narration/ story telling worked very well very well the animation

So as the story continued, it showed the first character, a young girl, I thought the graphics looked really nice and went very well with the game. And then I get a massive panic attack as the game tells me to start running. I've only started the game and already freaking out because I'm horrible at any type of video game, its also not helping with the scary, intense music, however, it works very well with the scene, this with the help of my fear made me very determined to keep my character alive.

I thought my character was about to die but I saw a white fox in the background following my character, and the hungry polar bear and pray its my spirit animal!!! The game got to a point where I was able to switch to the fox to distract the bear and save the girl, I was very relieved but terrified again 'cause I has to keep running!....I died twice because I didn't know how to use the controls....

The cutscenes are very cute and I already can see a friendship form between the young girl and the fox. They work together as a team to keep each other safe, however the fox acts more of the guardian towards the girl.

I did find it disappointing that i could not save the game, (unless I'm just stupid and haven't found the save button in the menu) I don't want to have to start all over again because I feel it loses the emotion/feeling of the game.

Well thats it so far, I plan to complete this game, it was really intense and a lot of fun I can't wait to see what happens at the end.
