About
Step into the town of Porcupine and take to the well-loved scrubs of Finley, the newest fledgling doctor to join the ranks of St. Ursula's hospital. As the seasons in the small-town change and life starts to stir, you'll soon realize that things aren't always what they seem: Not everyone is honest with themselves and others, the healthcare industry is not as illustrious as it seemed in medical school, and the work/life balance Finley strives toward might be impossible to achieve.

Not only is there a lot to discover in the old hospital, but also in the small town of Porcupine itself. Take the time to meet the villagers and have a beer with them in the local pub, take a trip to the nearby forest, or spend quality time with your friends.
The blunt head doctor, the selfless nurse, Finley's smart friends, and many other residents populate the small town of Porcupine. Engage in funny, profound, and sometimes serious dialogues, in which you'll be able to choose your answers and influence your relationships.
You don't even have time to look at the clock because your patients are waiting! Investigate what's wrong with them through your conversations and treat them in different minigames that challenge you in logic, speed, and skill.
At first glance, the small town is a warm, friendly place where everyone knows and greets each other. But if you live there for any length of time, you'll suspect that not everyone is as honest as they pretend to be – especially in an unhealthy healthcare-system.

It a wonderful Indie Game. Reminds me a little bit of both Night in the woods and Beacon Pines.
When I first began the playthrough, it wasn't saved and I had to restart. On the second go now, I managed to get to the hospital but the game is so buggy its unplayable. Its a shame as I was looking forward to this. The options on the phone don't show up, there's multiple minigame bugs and I keep loosing progress.
I love the art of this game, simple but cute and special. And the music is wonderful. But the best thing is how it depicts the reality of people working on the healthcare system. I experienced some technical issues with the minigames, but I got through with the easy mode. All in all, I fully recommend this game. It's so human (even though the characters are cute animals, hehe). A game to reflect on!
Jogo bem legal, tem uns minigames divertidos, apesar de alguns poucos terem me estressado kkkkk É uma ótima obra sobre o sistema de saúde e talvez uma homenagem (?) aos profissionais de saúde. A única crítica vai ao final, que apesar de não ser ruim, é aquele tipo de final onde nada se resolve de fato, acaba meio brusco, então acho que uma ceninha final faria um ótimo trabalho. De qualquer forma, um bom jogo
Review for "Fall of Porcupine" – An open letter to the developers from a Russian gamer. First, the game itself is wonderful. As a fan of Night in the Woods, I was instantly captivated. I recommend it to everyone. No complaints about the gameplay or art. But here is my story – and why your approach left a bitter taste. I saw your game on Xbox (I am first of all a console player) and fell in love with it from the screenshots. I wanted to buy two copies: one for me, one for a friend. That would have been $40 ($20 each) – money I was happy to pay. Then I discovered there is no Russian language support. However, you do support German, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and others – some less spoken worldwide than Russian. I refused to pay. Instead, I found an unofficial Russian translation online and played that version on PC. Later, I bought a Steam key for only $3 on a third-party site – just to leave this review. I played on my laptop with a gamepad and the fan translation. The result: You could have earned $40 from me. Instead, you earned $3. All because you ignored the Russian language. Why this makes no business sense - Russian speakers worldwide: about 258 million people. Compare to other languages you did include: - French: about 396 million speakers - Japanese: about 140 million - German: about 130 million - Korean: about 78 million Russian has more native speakers than Japanese, German, and Korean. Steam user language distribution (2025): - 1st: Chinese – about 35% of Steam users - 2nd: English – about 33% - 3rd: Russian – about 8.4% - 4th: Spanish – about 4.6% - 5th: Portuguese (Brazil) – about 2.8% Over 8% of Steam players speak Russian – that's millions of potential customers. My hope for the future Please, add Russian to your next games. It's not just about respect for the Russian community – it's simple business. You are leaving money on the table. I wanted to pay you $40. I ended up paying $3. Don't force your Russian fans to choose between piracy or third-party keys. Add Russian. We will buy your games.
看了一点游戏实况,奔着颜值+操作不难买了,实际确实如此,角色很可爱也很生动有趣。 缺点是剧情有些戛然而止,虽然前期也做足了铺垫,医院的事也意料之中,但进“片尾”时还是感觉有些突兀。
A really pleasant surprise. I'm a huge Night In The Woods fan and was aware beforehand that there'd be similarities. There's definitely a lot borrowed from the game and it's the closest thing to a true NITW-like that I've ever found but I do also feel like it stands really well on its own. Wonderful autumnal atmosphere, lovely music, even really liked the ambient sounds of the hospital and the bar. I grew really fond of the characters over the course of the game, they're nicely written and complex without being too obvious about it. The fisherman by the river and Alfio were real highlights. It genuinely made me giggle at times too, there were some really charming humorous moments. There were a couple of noticeable bugs here and there (there have been a lot of complaints about the stethoscope minigame which I can't disagree with) but it didn't detract from the overall experience. I honestly didn't mind the ending either but I'm generally alright with endings that leave a lot to the imagination and there's a whole world that this game offers for you to wonder about. Looking forward to replaying later this year. I never usually leave reviews but really wanted to add some positive thoughts for this one.
Jogo emocionante, arte bonita, a soundtrack desse jogo é muito boa, eu só tive problemas com uns bugs mas nada de mais. Eu recomendo muito esse jogo
Eine unglaublich tolle Reise in Pucipine. Habe das Spiel in vollen Atemzügen genossen. Arbeite selber im Gesundheitswesen und konnte mich in vielen Situationen von Finley wieder finden. Wirklich was ein Meisterwerk an Game. Viel liebe an die Entwickler.
It's a cute game with beautiful artstyle and memorable characters. There are a few bugs, most of which were either controls not always working when interacting with the phone for example or some of the dialogue being off-screen at times, but none of it stopped me from playing through the game. Overall I feel like the game could have been a bit more polished which could be the difference between a good game and a great one. If you decide to pick it up I heavily recommend playing through the demo first which is actually the prologue of the game and sadly isn't included in the main game. Hopefully someday it will receive update to fix the minor bugs and give it the polish it deserves. I personally liked the world of Porcupine and it's citizens and would love to play another game from the developers that either continues the story or is completely separate from it, but takes place in the same world. Thank you :)
