At first only walking and jumping actions are available, with sprinting and other special moves released later on. Please be aware the desire for scones, cream and jam after playing the game is no fault of the publisher. The unique snow crunch sound that can be heard when the compressed snowflakes are trodden on and realistically spread out wherever the fox treads, create what can only be described like drawing lines in a fresh pot of clotted cream. There is an excellent marriage of both audio and visual effects in the simplicity of romping about in the snow, as well as the repetitive, yet never dull soundtrack. Starting in deep snow drifts provides plenty of space for acclimatising to the fox's movements. The breathtakingly desolate landscape, and the transparency of the spirit fox, adds to the mystical feel of it all. There are no voice commentary explanations about what the story involves - a lot is left to the individual's imagination, which allows people to draw on their own knowledge of foxes and the natural Northern Lights phenomenon which is featured at the game's end. Apart from the options screen, there is absolutely no dialogue or text in Spirit of the North a feature which is widely advertised, and contributes to the engaging experience of being the fox.
