"Dog" is one of the 30 Inuit words for "fox."

It looks so fascinating. This puppy (eh, eh, EHHHHH?) is one of my most anticipated games, indie or otherwise.

Beautiful! I get the impression that it does have that kind of 2 character control like brothers. Just in this case with you and the fox. If so, it'll be interesting to see how that works in what also looks like a mostly 2D game.

Wow, this looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more of it.

But man, I really, really hope that the dog doesn't die. As much as people seem to hate happy endings nowadays, I feel like a sad ending has reached a point where it's the cliche.

This is a game concept I can really get behind. Love the art and aesthetic as well.

If some could find and embed a Futurama "Shut Up and Take My Money" image; that'd be great.

Have I just used a double meme? I clearly need help.

Platforming & set pieces in service of overall theme/mood/setting?

Right on I think.

Hmm I like this idea. Gives me a real "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" vibe.

Cool, another good looking Indie! Having a kid and dog as the leads is a great change of pace.

Looks neat - reminds me of Limbo, only more uplifting in tone. And the idea of presenting a culture and its storytelling this way has a lot of promise.

@gutterkisser: Yes, if you translate this into silhouettes it's very much Limbo.

This looks really neat. I'm pretty into the artstyle and general mood that it seems to be going for.

Cool trailer, but the average-looking platforming has me put off.
