The fall of a twisted world.

<span class="bold">The Fall</span>, story-driven metroidvania-style adventure, is available now for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux - DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount.

<span class="bold">The Fall</span> is not a simple game. It's a mashup of several genres: point and click adventure, platformers, and metroidvania style shooters. You crash-land on a dark, unknown planet, unconscious - you need help. It's good that you're wearing a combat suit equipped with ARID - an onboard artificial intelligence that's there to save you. As she explores the twisted depths of this hostile planet - realities of what occurred force her to question the very rules that drive her being. <span class="bold">The Fall</span> is just the first critically acclaimed entry in an extensive three-part story, stay tuned for more...

Explore the depths and mysteries of <span class="bold">The Fall</span>, available now - DRM-free on GOG.com The 50% launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, March 19, at 10:59 PM GMT.

Does anyone happen to know if this game is compatible with a gamepad? This looks really interesting, but I'm awful at side-scrollers with a keyboard/mouse setup.

What are you talking about, it's entirely in 3D, just sidescrolling perspective

Perhaps backgrounds are 2D... But I don't think so

Fenixp: Can someone tell me whether the ending is conclusive or if the game actually is the first part of a trilogy with massive cliffhanger at the end? 'Cause if it's the latter and the game sells itself as a story-driven one, I don't think I'm going to bite until the entire story is out.
Well...

Episodic - succinctly told in 3 acts. The first episode boasts a solid 3 hours of play-time, if not more.

Wishlist for now.

Oh, okay. Just got on my radar then, not much more than that. Thanks.

Wishlisted. Definitely interesting but I don't buy these episodic/multi-part stories before they're complete. Because, you know, the rest of the parts might never come out?

The cliffhanger of Dreamfall: TLJ was enough for me for one lifetime :D

Matruchus: Nice to see this game here and especially seeing gog reconsider it for release after declining it a year ago. Definite buy some time later. Wishlisting.
Ah they declined it? Perhaps there is hope for other games that GOG has declined, or they have changed their criteria. Who knows.

Instabuy (once I get back).

I believe he means "not the kind of 3D that will make me motion-sick"... i.e., not FPS-style 3D. Lichdom: Battlemage would make him feel sick, but not this.

Hi Fenixp,

I haven't played it myself but reviewers on another site claimed that it was an abrupt 'to be continued' kind of ending. Then other reviewers got mad that this information was a spoiler, which I think is crazy - it's good to know that it doesn't conclusively end! Anyway, it was all very humourous.

I am really interested in this game and probably would have bit at this price, but I went nuts at Insomnia, so no more purchases for a little while at least! Maybe it's a good idea to wait for the others to be released as well anyway.

Looks like something I'd enjoy. However, it's episodic and reminds me of Dark Matter more than a little, so it's also triggering some unpleasant gaming flashbacks.

I'll buy it if and when it's complete. Still waiting on Kentucky Route Zero, after all.

So that's what it was reminding me of. Hoping this is much nicer and gets finished. I'm also waiting on Kentucky Route Zero, and it's taking ages for them to release episodes. I love what they've put out so far, but I'll have to replay it all once it's complete.

Kunovski: damn damn damn, I have this from bundle, heard so many great things about it, but didn't have time yet to play!

and now it's on GOG, all patched up, available immediatelly (god knows where's that bundle e-mail) and for such nice prize... aaaargh! :D
I don't think it's been bundled before, you sure about that? Anyway, another solid addition to GOG catalogue, wishlisted for now. :)
