Farewell North is an open-world adventure platformer developed by Kyle Banks, released in 2024 for PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The player controls a border collie accompanying a young woman across a chain of atmospheric islands modeled on Scottish archipelagos such as Orkney and St. Kilda. The central mechanic involves restoring color to a world drained of it, accomplished by solving perspective- and color-based puzzles that reveal hidden paths and objects in the environment. Exploration spans grassy fields, steep cliffs, and open ocean navigated by canoe. Along the way, the collie interacts with wildlife and assists local farmers in tasks like herding sheep, finding lost ducklings, and reuniting a stranded whale with its pod. These encounters gradually surface memories that explain how the characters arrived at the archipelago. The game features an adaptive orchestral soundtrack with vocals by Siobhan Miller.
Explore the islands and uncover memories in order to restore color to the archipelago, unlocking new paths, extinguishing hazards and revealing hidden objects. Explore the hand crafted, atmospheric islands while evading the creatures that would hold you back.
