'Human: Fall Flat' (ALL) Alpha Testing Multiplayer

by Rainier on Sept. 15, 2017 @ 12:18 a.m. PDT

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.

It’s with huge pleasure that we’re now able to offer you the first official sneak peek into the world of online multiplayer.

From today, anyone who wants to experience a world with many Bobs can select the special beta branch and dive straight in (full instructions below).

It’s still very definitely in alpha, so please do go in with an open mind and expect things to be less than perfect. We’re opening the game up a little at a time – so while there are only four multiplayer levels available right now, we’re aiming to update the game every Thursday until everything is unlocked.

We’re really excited to see how you get on with this - please do continue to send us your gifs and post videos of your exploits as you uncover new ways to play.

We anticipate making the multiplayer mode available within the main game towards the end of October where access will be simpler. But we know there are some of you out there who just can’t wait, and so we are delighted to welcome you into the all new world of Humans: Fall Flat.

Best,
Tomas Sakalauskas

How to access the multiplayer mode beta

  • Open Steam
  • Highlight Human: Fall Flat in your library
  • Right click and select “Properties”
  • Hit the “Betas” tab
  • Enter the code: “OnlineMultiplayer” into the black box and select “check code”
  • Select the Multiplayer beta from the drop-down menu
  • Your game should now automatically update
  • Enjoy!
If for whatever reason you want to remove yourself from the beta, select “NONE – opt out of all beta programs” from the drop down menu in the Betas tab. Your game will then revert.

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?
