Episode 1 Of The Fall To Land Two Days Early

A couple of weeks ago, we took a look at The Fall, an "aim and click" adventure title from Over The Moon Games.

In a move that feels opposite to a lot of trends in the industry, developer John Warner announced that The Fall would launch early on May 30th. At the same time, a new trailer was released, showing some previously unseen footage of the game.

QuoteSet 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. This is made possible by unifying the way in which players interact with the world - the player's weapon is used to aim and shoot, but also has a flash light that can be used to explore, and interact with objects. Players of The Fall will find themselves, thinking, exploring, and sometimes fighting with the world and its unusual inhabitants.

For anybody who would like to keep track of the game or add it to their wishlist, The Fall's Steam profile is already up, and will be priced at $9.99 (with an expected launch discount). Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
