Tell me, little one\u2026what motivates you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Direct Dara through a mystical maze of twisted forests, bookshelf corridors, sky islands, and more on a journey into a magical world on a quest to meet the Maze God face to face. Harness the power of ancient technologies and untamed magics to unravel his grand designs, and discover his hiding place to be granted a single wish in return.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Discover the Maze God\u2019s whereabouts by finding the exit to a series of immersive labyrinths designed by Lagos\u2019 Tade Ajiboye, highlighting West Africa\u2019s award-winning contributions to interactive media worldwide. Through tranquil representations of being lost, feeling adrift, and lacking direction, Go North provides players a chance to take a moment and reconnect with a slower pace of life.<\/p>\n<p>Find ancient relics weaving magic with technology, like the moth-shaped Lunaboard or levitating bubble to get a bird\u2019s-eye view, to help Dara navigate through each world. Locate secret Golden Compasses to find unlockables, and customize Dara with cosmetics like hats, scarves, and more to personalize every journey in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a certain sense of serenity that comes from a good walk,\u201d said Tade Ajiboye, owner of gazuntype. \u201cWith so much uncertainty in the real world, I wanted the calmness Go North exudes to be embedded into the core gameplay loop. As finding the exit due north is the only duty Dara has, I hope players feel the freedom to take their time, look around, and sit in the stillness of patience without penalties to find peace of mind. The demo provides a glimpse, but the full launch has some magical surprises left in store.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mindfully meander to unwind when Go North launches on PC via <a class=\"gp-autolink\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3041730\/Go_North\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Steam<\/a> and Xbox Series X|S today for $14.99 with a 10% launch discount!
