'Human: Fall Flat' (ALL) Gets PC Date - Screens

Human: Fall Flat is a quirky, open-ended, physics-based, third-person puzzle and exploration game set in surreal, floating dreamscapes.

Your goal is to escape the dreams of falling by solving puzzles with nothing but your wits and physics.

Human Fall Flat is a surreal physics puzzle game in which players are tasked with helping Bob (a builder – but not *that* one) escape his surreal dreamscapes. The world of Bob’s dreams are built on his daily experiences, hopes, fears and memories, crafted into nightmarish puzzles by the nefarious dream maker.

At its heart, it’s a game which will make you laugh. Bob is a human. No hero, no super powers. Bob’s journey is as random as it is surreal – with no fixed solutions to the obstacles he must overcome. Taking the form of open-ended sandbox levels in which players can experiment with solutions, Bob must traverse this beautiful yet deadly world in a bid to understand what’s powering his dreams.


The game has ballooned in popularity over the recent months since the prototype was uploaded to indie game hosting website Itch.io, amassing over 25 million views across various YouTube channels. A mix of open-ended puzzling, charmingly simplistic visuals and laugh-out-loud gameplay has seen Human Fall Flat become a firm favorite among streamers and content creators alike, with the random exploits of players proving essential viewing for viewers on the world’s most popular video sharing website.

“July 22nd can’t come soon enough,” says Tomas Sakalauskas, No Brakes Games. “Human Fall Flat has been a genuine labour of love, a seed of an idea that has blossomed into something which is really resonating with all who play it. Its full release is just the beginning of the journey for Bob and I’m excited to see what players make of the full version.”

Human Fall Flat is a rare gem indeed,” adds Jason Perkins, Managing Director at Curve Digital. “Everyone in the studio is stupidly excited about seeing the full release, and we know people are going to love what Tomas has put together.”

The full release of Human Fall Flat on Steam will enhance what players loved about the prototype, offering significantly more content. Human Fall Flat will also boast a brilliant two-player mode, which has had those who’ve had the opportunity to test it in stitches.

Players control Bob’s basic movement, but operate his arms independently, making his journey haphazard, hilarious and fraught with danger. Bob can pull stuff. He can push stuff. He can kick stuff. He can carry stuff. He can climb stuff. He can break stuff. And he can use stuff on other stuff to make other stuff happen.

Along the way, players will learn more about the human condition – and maybe something about themselves, too.

Will you try to open that mysterious door, or would you rather see how far you can throw a speaker set out that window?
