Indie developer Over The Moon announces The Fall Part 2: Unbound is
coming in Q1 of next year for Windows, OS X, Linux, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and
WiiU. This will be the second chapter in The Fall Trilogy, and in celebration
the first game is currently on sale
on Steam for 90% off.
Here's a trailer and
here are the details:
The Fall Part 2: Unbound picks up right where we
left ARID at the end of The Fall. Featuring new characters, new gameplay twists,
superb art direction and an even more engrossing story, The Fall Part 2: Unbound
is a bold leap forward for the franchise.
“The Fall Part 2: Unbound takes everything we learned with The Fall, adds to it
and improves on it exponentially”, said John Warner, Director of Over The Moon.
“After seeing the reception The Fall received, we knew that people were excited
to see ARID’s journey of self-discovery continue. We want The Fall Part 2:
Unbound to deliver a thought-provoking story that will linger with players long
after they finish the game, with gameplay that’s as fitting with that story as
it is addictive.”
The Fall series combines Metroidvania-style exploration and combat with point
and click adventure-style puzzles to create a fresh experience that fans of both
genres will love. Players control ARID, an AI on-board a futuristic combat suit.
In the original game, ARID was lost on an alien planet and struggled to save the
life of the severely injured human occupant of the suit. After the unhinging
events of part 1, ARID’s very existence is threatened when she is ejected from
her body and projected onto a vast global network. In a desperate attempt to
save herself, ARID invades and attempts to control several other robots she
finds there, each with wildly different personalities and gameplay styles. Will
ARID successfully enlist their help before it’s too late? One thing’s for
certain – the process will change her.
With a deep, engaging narrative; fully realized, layered characters; stark,
minimalist art direction and sparse, haunting sound design; The Fall Part 2:
Unbound is Metroidvania for a new generation.
