About North
NORTH is a short game about a man applying for asylum in a sprawling mega-city inhabited by strange creatures and governed by unfamiliar customs. He has come from a foreign land in the south and feels lost and confused as he tries to understand what he must do to get asylum.
The city and its story
The game addresses the contemporary refugee crisis within a classical cyberpunk setting. You follow the man's experience through letters he writes to his sister back home. The letters help you understand your tasks and move the story forward.
Exploration and puzzles
Gameplay focuses on exploration and simple puzzles. The main challenge is working out what you need to do to obtain asylum. The game takes 20–40 minutes to complete and includes a soundtrack of 8 songs, with dark synthpop music.
