Spirit of the North is a 2019 adventure video game created by Infuse Studio for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.In this game that lacks dialogue or a conventional narrative, the player takes on the role of a (non-anthropomorphic) fox journeying through landscapes inspired by Iceland. The fox is occasionally accompanied by the translucent guardian of the Northern Lights, which also takes on the shape of a fox. The two travel through the remains of a lost civilization, putting lost souls to rest and ridding the world of a corrupting force that threatens to overwhelm everything.Compare with Lost Ember, also featuring a canine guided through the ruins of a lost civilization by a point of light, except that one also includes possessing various animals to use their abilities and dialogue.A sequel, Spirit of the North 2, has been announced, following a fox and their raven companion. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Spirit of the North (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The game really insists on telling its story solely through images, so you will not learn what the name of anything is (for instance, the fox's abilities, but that's just one example) unless you do something like look at the trophy list. The guardian is only revealed to be female in store descriptions. | |

| Spirit of the North (Video Game) / int_18eb5500 | comment |
Beautiful Void: Aside from the fox and its companion, the game is completely devoid of all other animal life, and all the humans are long dead. Even the landscape lacks any plants taller than the fox itself. | |

After the End: Without the guardian of the Northern Lights, a plague killed off the civilization whose remains you travel through. While the corruption sickens ordinary wildlife and snakes across the sky, the landscape is still able to support plant life and many areas are still breathable for the fox. | |

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: In chapter 6, the guardian becomes corrupted by a trap in the Spirit Keep, turning her red and bouncing erratically. The fox has to follow her through the keep and eventually heal her in the spirit world. | |

Context-Sensitive Button: In the PlayStation 4, the O button is alternately used to pick up things (the staves) or to bark at blue flower beds to charge the fox with power that can then be used to manipulate the environment to solve puzzles, or can be held down to Spirit Bark. On PC, this is fulfilled by the left mouse button. | |

Fantastic Foxes: The fox can commune with the souls of the deceased and the guardian of the Northern Lights (itself a fox), whose powers the fox becomes imbued with. Scandinavian folklore associates the aurora with the fox, who creates it by brushing its tail against the sky. | |

Spirit World: The fox enters the spirit world after seemingly dying to the corruption late in the game. It is a ghostly blue and incredibly lush valley not unlike The Other Rainforest, filled with trees in contrast to the barren landscape of the real world. The spirits the fox saved can be found throughout it. | |

| Spirit of the North (Video Game) / int_9bd92eef | comment |
Astral Projection: The guardian of the Northern Lights is reduced to a little ball of light after lending the fox her powers. She keeps guiding the fox in that form. One of the powers acquired by the fox is Spirit Form, allowing the fox to leave its physical body to reach places blocked by plague vines or where it has to hold down buttons. The end of the game reveals that the guardian of the Northern Lights used to be a normal fox like the player character. Her physical body rests at the top of the mountain as one of the seals containing the plague, while her spirit wanders the land in search of another fox to be the other seal and rid the world of the plague. | |

Good Colors, Evil Colors: Blue is the color of the guardian of the Northern Lights and her powers, therefore good. Red is the color of the plague, therefore bad. This can also be seen in the murals, with the ones depicting favorable moments in the setting's history being blue, while those depicting catastrophes are red. | |
