Eric Watson, who worked with creators of the critically acclaimed video game "Never Alone," will deliver the keynote speech during UAF's Pop-Con 2015 at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 6.

Pop-Con is an annual event celebrating comics, video games, pop culture and more. This year's event will be Nov. 6-7 in Wood Center.

"Never Alone" is a puzzle-platformer game about a young Iñupiaq girl named Nuna and her Arctic fox companion. Watson will provide insights about the game's creation and his role as a project manager with Cook Inlet Tribal Council, the Anchorage-based nonprofit group that promoted the idea.

After Watson's presentation, an open play session will let people experience the fun and trials of "Never Alone." The event ends at 6:30 p.m.
