Editorial overview
What it is
Black The Fall is an atmospheric side-scrolling shooter with puzzle solving elements.
An odd and unexpected black and white dream inspired by a childhood passed behind the Iron Curtain.
Discover an industrialized long lost world living in the shadow of the totalitarian state. Everyone should be regarded as a potential enemy, an informer, a criminal. Amnesic and unaware of circumstances which brought you into this place, you begin your journey which should reveal the mystery. Moving through a peculiar world you'll have to kill in order to survive, to solve different puzzles and to learn when to be brave and when to hide.
An early-access version of the game was released on Steam in June of 2014, as well as campaign through Kickstarter in the same year.
The premise
After decades of toil, an old machinist plots his escape from Communism, through manipulation and scheming. Along the road, he befriends the most unlikely creature, an abandoned robot. Could they solve the puzzles and flee this bleak world together?
