    Seems like a cool sci-fi game, but I have experienced numerous crashes that make the game borderline unplayable. Completely unacceptable for a 4 year old game like this.

    FanTastic game, the perfect game to brake your brain in basic puzzles to save the life of your pilot. The controls are a little poor, but the system is cool . I saw bugs in moments, but are simple and fixed. The best game I saw, I like the history, I like the system, I like the moments of action.

    The first installment in a planned trilogy, The Fall does a respectable job at feeling complete while setting up upcoming entries. Although shorter than most adventures, the length does work in its benefit, as the slow pacing would likely overstay its welcome in a longer journey. Worth noting, the pacing is by no means perfect, with the ending coming off feeling especially rushed, but the rest of the experience makes good use of a slow, methodical approach. Atmospheric and appropriately lonely, with enough narrative weight to think on, this makes for some enjoyable point-and-click fun.

    Although it has conservative mechanics and a very short duration, this graphic adventure has an interesting narrative and a great atmosphere. We will want to see what happens next, so we should not worry too much about its small but existing negative points.

    The Fall made me interested from start to finish with its super interesting story. The idea of using in-game glitches as a visual form and gameplay is very good and made the adventure pleasurable.
