About this game

Dealing with the issue of the contemporary refugee crisis while at the same time being deeply rooted in a classical cyberpunk atmosphere à la Blade Runner, NORTH features a dark synthpop soundtrack, a sprawling mega-city and weird monster-like inhabitants.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Bleak cyberpunk setting with surreal city environments.
Adventure game built around a refugee and immigration premise.
Stylized visuals feature monster-like inhabitants and distinctive environments.
Dark synthpop soundtrack accompanies the game's atmosphere.

Cons

Extremely short game for its asking price.
Adventure mechanics and puzzles are simple and shallow.
Cryptic narrative leaves important events and ideas unexplained.
Treatment of political and refugee themes is blunt and simplistic.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
