Epic Games Store is offering The Fall for this week’s giveaway, taking the place of Surviving Mars.
The Fall is the first game of its trilogy, telling the story of an AI stranded on an alien planet. A side-scrolling puzzler, the title originally released in 2014 to favorable reviews from critics and players alike, most praising its story and atmosphere. Here’s how the Epic Games Store describes it:
Acclaimed story, engaging puzzles, tense action. You are ARID, the AI onboard a mark-7 combat suit. The human pilot encased within the suit is unconscious. You must find a way to follow protocol and save his life. 2014 Game of the Year for best story.
