The Fall (Video Game)
Approximate Length
Cinematic let's play: < 2 hours (!!!)
Playthrough: Variable
Where to find it
Cinematic no-commentary Let's Play
Steam
What is it, in summary?
The Fall is an incredible story-driven puzzle platformer indie game about an AI in a combat suit trying to keep her pilot alive while bound by her core operating parameters and coming into conflict with other AIs. This game is part of a three-game trilogy, the second game is a bit longer and the third has not been released yet. However, it stands incredibly well alone!
What do you like about it?
It's just such a fantastic story of AI awakening. The characterisation of A.R.I.D. is great and the voice acting nails the complexities of her character. It's wonderfully atmospheric and takes a few obvious visual style pages from Limbo. It also shares a lot of positive beats with Portal - the morbid sense of humour, and discovering all the bad things that previously happened in this desolate, abandoned setting where only robots still persist. The way the videogame medium is used to convey the themes of the story is incredible. The interactions with the (limited) cast of other characters, all of them AIs, are amazing. It's a work of art.
What are you likely to request for it?
Anything and everything! I haven't decided on prompts yet, but definitely all mediums and formats :)
Content notes
Some disturbing content, dead body parts, nothing too graphic. The second game has some discussions of sexual violence.
