About the Game

Restore Color to the World




In Farewell North you take on the unique role of a border collie restoring color to your human's world. Explore the hand-crafted, atmospheric islands inspired by the Scottish highlands and embark on a journey of companionship, trust and loss.

A Spark of Life




Whether it's herding flocks of sheep, highland coos, chickens or other animals, playing an impromptu game of fetch, helping the local farmers with their livestock, reuniting a trapped whale with its pod, finding lost ducklings, and much more, you're always finding ways to bring sparks of happiness to your human.

Discover Hidden Paths




Solve puzzles based on perspective and coloring to reveal hidden objects and paths in the environment. Find the perfect vantage point to reveal the secrets of the islands.

Explore Land and Sea




Journey at your own pace, running through lush grassy fields, hiking steep cliffs, and canoeing the ocean between an open world chain of islands inspired by the Scottish archipelagos of St. Kilda and Orkney.

Uncover a Unique Story About Saying Farewell
