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.

Game Ratings for The Fall Video Game.
High-Def Digest: 3.5 / 5 by Levi van Tine
'The Fall' is a great story and interesting discussion of synthetic morality, but ironically has some problems with its own mechanical side. It is possible that these issues were caused by the port to the Xbox One, but things like checkpoint saving are fundamental and cannot be overlooked. Regardless, I am happy that Over The Moon is continuing with the series, and hopefully we can expect the second episode before too long.
Destructoid: 8.5 / 10 by Mike Cosimano
The Fall Part One's minor gameplay shortcomings don't even begin to tarnish the sheen on everything else. It's a seductive old-school sci-fi yarn, with characters that somehow manage to represent greater ideas and exist as fully-formed beings. Even though two more episodes have been confirmed, the game ends on an exciting conclusion that could function either as a cliffhanger or a definitive finale. If you're into books like The Martian Chronicles, there's no reason to let some potential head-scratchers keep you from a great experience.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Greg Giddens
This is supposedly the first of multiple chapters to this story, and if the writing stays as strong throughout then it's going to be a tale well worth exploring, but hopefully the next title will reduce the difficulty a tad.
