Inspired by titles such as Super Metroid and Monkey Island, The Fall is a cinematic platformer where players explore their environments and solve several traditional adventure game puzzles.

The Fall is about ARID, an artificial intelligence on-board a futuristic combat suit. When ARID is activated and finds that her human pilot is unconscious and in desperate need of medical help, ARID's directive is clear - take her pilot to medical attention. As she struggles to help her non-responsive friend, she finds herself in a unique and bizarre situation that causes her to question her rigid relationship to her protocols and, ultimately, her self-understanding.  Players of The Fall will find themselves thinking, exploring, and sometimes fighting with the world and its unusual inhabitants.

The Xbox One and PS4 editions of The Fall will include dozens of performance and other   improvements made to the game since the original launch, including optimizations, aiming and combat enhancements, bug fixes, and more.  In addition, the game will include an exclusive Developer’s Commentary, featuring insight, stories and other discussion from the game’s creative team.

“We’re excited to deliver a game that is truly different from other titles on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, a game that will challenge players to deeply explore the narrative and seek answers to disturbing questions exposed as the story unfolds,” said John Warner, Founder and Director, Over The Moon Games. “The new Developer’s Commentary feature offers a chance to gain a little bit of insight into the inspirations and motivations underlying The Fall, and we’re looking forward to hearing the community discussions centering on this once the game is released.”
