black the fall

Black The Fall is the first game from new developer Sand Sailor Studio. At first glimpse it will probably instantly remind you of the likes of Inside, another monochromatic puzzle platformer. Yet, when you get down to the nitty gritty it becomes obvious that Black The Fall is a very different game, in terms of its underlying themes and plot as well as the way it plays. Of course, none of that matters unless it is a good game, so let’s take a look at it. While most recent games of this type have attempted to be cryptic and mysterious in terms of their overall story, Black The Fall is much more open about its influences and message. It is intended to be a harsh criticism of oppression and is obviously heavily inspired by the communist regime that its Romanian developers had to endure. The harrowing communist future that is Black The Fall is bleak to an exaggerated extreme. The rows of buildings are just carbon copies of each other.
