* BilingualBonus: Virtually all of the dialogue (most of it narration) of the game is in the Iñupiaq language, a language spoken by only about 9,300 people in the world and mainly in Northern Alaska. This game is something of a rarity among American-produced videogames, even independent games, as the only spoken English in the game is in the game's main menu and the unlockable cultural insight videos. This game might even possibly be the first videogame to be completely in an American Indian/Alaskan Native language. Even the the game's title, "Kisima Inŋitchuŋa" is literally translated as "I am never alone."

Added DiffLines:

* ClassicVillain: Where Nuna and Fox are physically small characters who [[GuileHero accomplish things by their wits]] and by working together, the Manslayer is a big, hulking a man who works alone and depends on brute force. Nuna is also motivated by concern for her community and Fox by his friendship with Nuna, while the Manslayer is motivated by selfish greed.

* NotAlwaysEvil: The Cultural Insight on the Little People reveals that they are sometimes harmful, sometimes helpful, sometimes just mischievous. The ones you meet in the game all seem to be of the "harmful" kind, unfortunately.

* InHarmonyWithNature: A necessary virtue of a heroic figure in this tradition. Notably, however, Nuna is NOT a FriendToAllLivingThings. She is a skilled hunter, and the natural environment she inhabits is no friend to the unwary.

* InHarmonyWithNature: A necessary virtue of a heroic figure in this tradition. Notably, however, Nuna is NOT a FriendToAllLivingThings. She is a skilled hunter, and the natural environment she inhabits is no friend to the unwary. The Cultural Insights explain that every living being should be respected and a hunt should ''only'' be for food (with one explaining how a hunter that accidentally killed a mother polar bear was forced by the tribe to then care for the cub).



* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Reserved for little girls and arctic foxes who are swallowed by giant whales made of ice. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the narrator. Also used in most of the Foxtales DLC, where the duo can stay underwater indefinitely while they solve puzzles.
