One of the major drawbacks of point-and-click adventure games is that the obtuse puzzles can often be frustrating. It’s easy to get stuck, which can put a damper on the things the genre does well: namely telling great stories with great visuals. With the first chapter in its trilogy The Fall, Kheops Studio attempts to remove much of this frustration and create a game that is more accommodating to new players. And while this makes things a bit too easy at times,The Fall – Chapter 1: Separation is also a solid entry in what looks to be a promising new adventure series.
In this first chapter of the series, the story is intentionally vague. The main character wakes up in some sort of ancient ruin with absolutely no recollection of how he got there or who he is. As he works his way to the exit, solving puzzles in an attempt to escape, the unnamed protagonist will occasionally get flashbacks. The screen will flash white and he’ll remember a brief snippet of his past life. He’ll hear the voices of his son and wife, but even once you’ve completed the game there’s still much he doesn’t know about his life and how he ended up in the middle of a bizarre, forgotten ruin.
