Never Alone is a beautiful game, full of fairy tale delight and educational knowledge. It isn’t as patronising as that might sound as it keeps the two well-separated enabling you to take or leave as much of the cultural content as you like.

But there’s little reason to return to the adventure once you’ve finished it as most of the unlockable videos will be found through natural play.
