Release Date: May 30, 2014
Set in the reality of science fiction platformer developed by Over the Moon studio. The Fall was inspired by classic adventure and platform titles and the prose of Russian SF writer Isaac Asimov. The game takes place on a distant planet, where an injured spaceship pilot finds himself. Playing in his spacesuit artificial intelligence, called ARID, we have to save his life and help to survive in a strange and dangerous environment.
Set in a dark, distant sci-fi universe, The Fall is about ARID, an artificial intelligence on-board a futuristic combat suit. One day, she is activated to find that the human pilot of the suit is unconscious and in desperate need of medical help. ARID's directive is clear - take her pilot towards medical attention. However, as she struggles to take control of the suit and help her non-responsive friend, she finds herself in a unique and bizarre situation that will cause her to question her rigid relationship to her various protocols and ultimately her self understanding. The Fall is a unique blend of traditional adventure game puzzles and action, mixed together nicely and set in a world rich with atmosphere. Players of The Fall will find themselves, thinking, exploring, and sometimes fighting with the world and its unusual inhabitants.
- An excellent story - Set in a rich, atmospheric world, that explores interesting ideas surrounding rigidity and protocol.

- A full voice cast - With a unique female protagonist.
- Gorgeous artwork - The Fall's focus is on atmosphere and exploration, and boats a beautifully polished world to that feeling.

Game Ratings for The Fall Video Game.
VGChartz: 6 / 10 by Evan Norris
If you're looking for a thoughtful sci-fi story and/or a point-and-click adventure in the LucasArts mold, and can tolerate the short running time, this is a good pick.
GameSkinny: 9 / 10 by Pierre Fouquet
The puzzles overall are really fun to work out and are challenging at the same time.
NintendoWorldReport: 7 / 10 by Zachary Miller
The Fall is a relatively short game, just a few hours long depending on how many puzzles stump you. The story is the most engaging thing, providing a unique take on the Three Laws of Robotics (although the laws themselves have been changed). There are really only three characters, but they're all well developed
