Video games are all about fighting and shooting, zapping aliens, or making like a gangster - right? Not all. The Game Developers Conference in San Francisco right now is hearing about something called Never Alone. It's a game developed with native people in Alaska, drawing on their folklore and ancient stories.

BBC Business spoke to the brains behind the project Alan Gershenfeld from E-line Media and Gloria O'Neill the Cook Inlet Tribal Council president.
