Last Inua

Last Inua is an incredibly atmospheric 2D cinematic platformer that immerses you directly in the harsh beauty of Arctic wilderness and Inuit folklore. You control a father and son duo Ataataq, a strong physical protector, and Hiko, his son gifted with mystical abilities. Together, they embark on an emotional journey through snow-bound landscapes, relying on each other’s complementary powers to survive both the lethal elements and an awakening demonic force threatening their world. The game’s absolute defining feature is its breathtaking visual art style and audio design. The painted, storybook aesthetic brings the freezing tundra, mystical lights, and rugged icy caverns to life in staggering detail. Coupled with an eerie, quiet soundtrack and authentic sound effects like the crunching of heavy boots in deep snow or the subtle, tender calls between father and son the overall ambiance creates a deeply immersive, near-hypnotic sense of presence. While the puzzle design and platforming stay on the simpler side and the controls can occasionally feel a little heavy the emotional core of the narrative carries it seamlessly. It isn't trying to be a punishing platformer; instead, it focus…

this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game insists i have a gamepad connected and will not allow me to get past its first screen until i hit the buttons it's asking for on my imaginary gamepad. not even ESC does anything. i had to alt+f4 just to get back out. I even went into Steam's controller options, where it confirmed that there are no gamepads connected, so i think the Steam input itself (that is required and can not be disabled) is being read by the game as a gamepad?? How do you release a game for PC but not make it recognize a keyboard? this is the most unbelievably terrible UI I've ever seen - and I played Hunt: Showdown 1896 at its release! Oh, and the kicker? I don't even OWN A GAMEPAD. THERE ARE NO GAMEPADS IN THIS HOUSE. since i haven't even had an experience as positive as being allowed to view the main menu, i can't possibly recommend this stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. i'd return it if I hadn't gotten it in a bundle with another game i'd rather keep.

I got it as a deal to cheapen another game I was buying, so I had no clue what it was, but it's cute and pretty fun, although it can get annoying at the flying parts, but I'd try it lol

Last Inua is a visually striking puzzle-platformer set in Inuit mythology, and for most of its two-hour runtime I found it to be a charming, if simple, experience — switching between the father's brute strength and the son's teleportation abilities kept things interesting enough to push through. The art is genuinely beautiful and the atmospheric, mostly-silent soundscape does a great job pulling you into the frozen world. That said, the controls feel sluggish and imprecise throughout, which is tolerable during normal platforming sections but becomes a serious problem during the flying levels with Hiko — those sequences combine floaty controls, spike-filled corridors, and instant-death restarts in a way that nearly made me quit entirely. If not for those few brutal flying sections, I'd give this a mild recommendation; as it stands, I can only suggest picking it up on a deep sale if you're curious about the setting.

Overall a tedius experience, The Music and Art are great, but the gameplay is extremely barebones and slow, its a puzzle/platformer, but its puzzles arent very Engaging, the 2 hour achievement isnt even on a fast pace, hitboxes are a bit frustrating, I would recommend something else if you are looking for a platformer/puzzle game
