About Spirit of the North

About this game

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 whose 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 land left in ruin.

A boring walking sim

OPV
Verified purchase
The gameplay loop is basically a walking/running simulator with a bunch of unskippable cutscenes sprinkled about, aswell as unsatisfying jump & runs due to clunky movement controls. Not very engaging. The only remotely close experience of fun I had with this game was sliding down the mountains and jumping through those speed boost portals but that was basically 2 minutes of gameplay and also rather unsatisfying due to clunky controls and movement. Thanks to a speedrun I managed to play through this in under 2 hours.
