About Inua - A Story in Ice and Time
A MYSTICAL GAME IN THE GREAT CANADIAN NORTH
Embark on a mystical journey to the Canadian north in Inua: a Story in Ice and Time, a point & click narrative adventure set across several eras.
Meet Taïna, a contemporary journalist determined to uncover the truth about the disappearance of the Terror.
Her fate is mysteriously linked to that of Peter, a young filmmaker on a military expedition in the 1950s, and Simon, a sailor on the Franklin Expedition doing everything he can to keep his crew alive.
Navigate through the eras to discover what links them together. Search for ideas, put them into the minds of the characters and guide them to Nanurluk, the mythical polar bear that lived 10,000 years ago.

Let's get something out of the way first: this is a narrative experience and it plays more as a clever visual novel with (light) puzzle mechanics than as a "game" so if this is not your cup of tea, it might not be for you. This being said, I found the writing really good and was immediately drawn into the story. The switching between eras and the way the mystery is revealed little by little is very original and engaging. I wish there was more to the ending though as it felt a little rushed, and from the credits, it doesn't seem Inuit people were involved beyond the translation and voice acting, which feels a little wrong considering how much Inuit culture was used to shape the story. I recommend the game if you like unusual narratives and settings, and very atmospheric games.4 found this helpful
Inua was a peaceful and pleasant game that I played on my tablet via Remote Play while sitting in my backyard after being told I should go enjoy the nice weather. Playing this game felt like simply reading a book. It has a strong atmosphere and an interesting story that kept me invested throughout. I especially liked learning about the three main characters and seeing how their stories connected. My biggest issue was the ending, which felt underwhelming and incomplete. It almost feels like the story ends right before the real outcome is shown. Despite that, I still think it’s worth playing if you enjoy story-driven games.2 found this helpful
Beautiful game and soundtrack. I enjoyed the historical aspects of this game. The game did feel too short though, there should've been more before it ended so abruptly.1 found this helpful
very cool "mechanic" in a point and click game very pretty! some eye-candy storytelling music vocalizations are interesting, they remind me of LAIKA a bit with the shamanistic traits ARTE France my beloved
Cute game good story but not worth 15€
i love the terror and the erebus and im incredibly biased, so. i was never going to NOT like the franklin expedition video game. i love the art style and the music and maybe this isn't the most well-crafted game but i do like it an awful lot. #mypolarbear
