A poetic tale of exploration, salvation, and rebirth. Before you play or even buy this game, please know what to expect and what it is not! In this game, there are: (1) great emotional soundtrack (2) relaxing and slow-paced gameplay (3) a touching story (nothing is spoken, but I believe it's interpretable through the MC's actions) (4) serene landscape and atmosphere (5) a fox! In this game, you won't find: (1) combat (2) well-polished physics or amazingly smooth control (3) serious platforming/maneuvering/puzzle challenge (4) ostensible visual hints for the collectibles (5) multiple endings and replayability (6) any explicit explanation of the story or anything Before you play or even buy this game, please know what to expect and what it is not! The story progresses linearly through 8 chapters. The main objective in Ch1~Ch6 is to fetch the sticks staffs back to the remains of deceased shamans to release their spirits from a plague-stricken deserted world. Along the way, the fox explores the wild and ruins, and it more or less finds out what happened to this world and approaches the origin of the problem, under the guidance of a weary spirit fox. In the end of Ch6, both foxes are afflicted by the plague and "die", transferred to the spirit world , but the MC fox doesn't give up, it fights the temptation to end the journey and rest for the eternity in the serene and pristine world of the spirits . The MC fox finds and saves its companion, and together, they solve the problem in the final Ch8. It takes two foxes to cleanse the plague , our MC fox is the destined partner of the spirit fox for this grand quest. In the end, they ascended to divinity together, looking over this revived world . There are not that many convoluted plot twists and complex mechanics, so it's fine for the game to have minimal hand-holding. Most of the achievements are story-bound, you'll get them naturally. Releasing all the 28 shaman spirits in Ch1~6 takes some exploration. Only about 5 of them are story-bound, the rest can be hidden in tricky corners. Given that it is not an open world, each environment only has that much space to explore, it is not that difficult to find them all. The only achievement that requires some maneuvering skill is staying airborne for 8 seconds. But I got it while stuck in a bug with the physics engine... I jumped onto a rock which isn't meant to be landed on, and the fox was frozen in a falling pose for more than 8s. The most irritating achievement is the one where you have to find all 28 shaman spirits again in Ch7. The map of Ch7 is massive, you can't open a world map, and there are no coordinates, so you can only navigate as a fox, relying only on your sense of directions. About 5 of the spirits each walks along a not very short path, and there's no way to distinguish each spirit, so these walking dudes might cause some confusion... "have I already seen this guy????". Two dudes in particular are meditating at two spots where you wouldn't naturally think about exploring. If you get stuck at this achievement or simply get dizzy running around the woods and the fortress, you may just check out the playthrough video made by some good Samaritans. Enjoy your journey!

Let's get this out of the way. The movement is janky (hard to get animal movement right), and the collision is awful. Invisible walls everywhere, and then places you can walk up almost vertical slopes out of bounds. Aside from that, it's a lovely game. Pretty, fun to explore, and the animations are incredible. I'd like to call out the brake paws when sliding, the idle swimming, and what happens when you walk away from your PC for a few mins as the ones that really got to me. The collectible system is pretty good, though the spirit interactions with them are very inconsistent. Sometimes it'll let me know to look for one nearby, other times nada - wish it were one or the other. The main quest is a bit hand-holdy, you get pointed at even very obvious objectives, it takes any fun out of the gameplay aspect - what carries it is the experience of playing this character and the environment it's in. I'm going to play the sequel when I finish this, hopefully they worked out some of these issues there, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it either way.

I was genuinely enchanted by Spirit of the North, It’s not perfect the most notable flaws are the occasionally clunky controls, some frustrating platforming sections, and the odd glitch here and there but I still thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The fact that this game was made by only two people is incredibly impressive! While it’s not the most graphically stunning title, the visuals are still beautiful in their own way. I love that there’s no dialogue and the focus stays entirely on the foxes it gives the story a quiet, emotional charm. The music also does a fantastic job of elevating the mood the soundtrack is so good that I still listen to it from time to time. Definitely give it a try if you love foxes and can overlook a few rough edges.

Playing as a fox is fun, you definitely need to be able to get sucked in by visuals/soundtrack/emotion though because the gameplay can be slow progress (not difficult just slowmoving) and finicky at times. Be prepared to lose progress if you un and reinstall or change devices though. Looking up a tutorial to get through some sticky spots made it smooth enough of an experience to be worth the play for sure, and if you have more patience, you might not need to

Spirit of the North is one of the most beautiful and relaxing games I’ve ever played. You guide a fox through breathtaking Nordic-inspired landscapes, accompanied by a mysterious spirit fox, and the whole experience feels like stepping into a living painting. The world design is simply stunning — from snow-covered valleys to glowing cave systems, every area is filled with detail and atmosphere. What I love most is that the game tells its story without a single word. Everything is conveyed through visuals, music, and exploration, which makes the journey feel more personal and immersive. The soundtrack is gorgeous, perfectly matching the calm yet emotional tone of the adventure. The puzzles are engaging without being too difficult, and the pace encourages you to slow down, explore, and soak in the beauty around you. It’s the perfect game to unwind with after a stressful day — no rush, no pressure, just pure, serene exploration. If you’re looking for an atmospheric, heartfelt experience that combines nature, mystery, and stunning art design, Spirit of the North is an absolute gem. 🦊✨ 10/10 — Awoooo Get Goo Goo ALU!
