Failing them doesn’t necessarily create a branching timeline, but it does open up the freedom of how you want to express the way you want to play. In some of the set pieces, you encounter QTE moments with a bit more depth than you’d expect. It’s not time-consuming, nor brain-teasing but it does break up your actions so you don’t fall asleep at the pace you walk. To progress the game you’ll face light puzzles that’ll involve the multi-tool.

It’s a one-stop shop Nintendo Switch on your wrist that displays the map, keeps an archive of the data you find, but most importantly a hacking tool. As Jack is an engineer he doesn’t have a weapon but instead a multi-tool. It’s also a sizeable map with so much to find that enriches the story, making it always rewarding to take different paths. Conversely, you can take the underground tunnels that interlink, a more claustrophobic and uneasy path to traverse. You can either endure the almost blinding sandstorm outside above ground to move across the map. The semi-open hub of Fort Solis ends up being open to explore and backtrack in multiple ways. As far as walking simulators go, Fallen Leaf’s approach is novel and interesting. The gameplay is where it falls flat a little bit. Piecing the story together is also a delight and peeling back the layers is infectious. I have my issues with the pacing and I’m not impressed with the ending, but the journey along the way really is something special for the most part. My favourite aspect is the aspect and if you just want to watch a few actors chew up their scenes set with a sci-fi thriller backdrop, then this is the perfect game for you. Troy Baker nails that depth with an unsettling yet layered performance.
To an extent I agree, I don’t want to spoil the kind of role Wyatt has but he goes places and is definitely the most emotionally vulnerable. In an exclusive interview with IGN, creative director of Fallen Leaf James Tinsdale describes the character as not an antagonist, but a human that has had to wrestle with their morals. As the pair try to piece it together and relate to the crew that must have been here, you can’t help but empathise with them.įighting for my favourite acting in Fort Solis is Troy Baker’s, Wyatt Taylor. There’s a perfect tone set that brings levity in an often tense situation.
I adored the banter the two had between them. You’ll be exploring on your lonesome, but you’ll always have Jess in your ear interacting with Jack. However, words on paper can only go so far, but the acting across the board is near-flawless. It’s perfect at mounting the tension as you feel from the jump that something is up and of course it is. Brimming with interactive environments, audio/video logs and documents you are drip fed an impressive and gripping world-building. What transpires is the longest night of his life as he tries to get to the bottom of the signal and gets more than what he bargained for.Īfter the opening sequence, the game lets you explore. An alarm is triggered in the long-forgotten Fort Solis forcing Jack to inspect, as is protocol. You play Jack Leary (Roger Clark), an engineer on a routine repair with colleague Jessica Appleton (Julia Brown). This wasn’t a huge problem though as I was fully engrossed with the story and characters, I do just wish I could move quicker if I wanted.įort Solis is set on an isolated mining facility on Mars. There’s no option to run or even jog if you’re backtracking, so if you’re like me, you’ll be spending more than the 4-6 hours it takes to potentially complete. One question asks if it’s a walking simulator and I want to confirm, more than anything else, you will do a lot of walking. Can’t Totally RecallĪt the top, I want to address the FAQ for the game on its Steam page. So is this star-studded game an event on the horizon? Let’s get into it. Told across four chapters and described as a binge-able experience, Fallen Leaf’s goal is to create a hybrid piece of media with an emphasis on narration and immersion.
