Fall of Porcupine

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.

Schöne Geschichte, sehr pfiffige Mini-Games. Hätte mich bestimmt 3x öfter geprügelt, wenn ich gedurft hätte :D

Liebevoll, wunderschön und regt zum Nachdenken an.

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。

Oh, wow, I did not expect the suckerpunch this game was. So, erm, let's try not to spoil things. You're a pigeon in residency at St. Ursula's, which is a rundown hospital in the tiny town of Porcupine. It's clear that the devs either were in or talked to people who were in healthcare professionally; I recognized some patterns and role types from my own days working in a hospital. Considering the game is dedicated to healthcare workers, it's not a surprise that it's lovingly portraying how difficult the field can be. Your sidekicks, Mia and Karl, and the whole host of characters in the town are fascinating to talk to, and there's no shortage of general conversations to be had in getting to know folks. This is as much a nod to small-town life as to the intensity of healthcare, with the backstories and history pieces to prove it. The minigames along the way make me glad for how many years of keyboarding I had to take, but they were all engaging. The art is playful and colorful, and the music is sweet. Which is why I wasn't prepared for it to just...end. There's a Big Climactic Moment and then--credits. That's my one real complaint here; some of the loose ends are tied up in pictures through the credits, but I have so many questions left unanswered. (And I'm very sad about one of the outcomes, even though I saw it coming a mile off.) Gameplay is good, the story is engaging--not a ton of choices, though, so it does have a visual novel feel--and I'm glad to have played it, but the ending was rough. Recommended, but tentatively.

Wirklich ein sehr toll produziertes Story-Spiel, was mir gut gefallen hat. Man erlebt gemeinsam mit dem Hauptcharakter Finley, der frisch in die Kleinstadt Porcupine gezogen ist, die Spannung zwischen dem Arbeitsalltag im Krankenhaus, dem Pflegen der Patienten und dem Kennenlernen der Stadt, ihrer Bewohner und das Finden neuer Freunde. Dabei werden viele wichtige, tiefgründige und auch traurige Themen aufgegriffen, wie z.B. Freundschaft, [spoiler] Krankheit, Druck/Stress, Tod, Verlust, Trauer und deren Bewältigung, die aktuelle Gesundheitsindustrie. [/spoiler] Es ist somit eine Achterbahn der Gefühle und zeitweise auch sehr emotional. Die Charaktere sind sehr liebevoll gestaltet und umgesetzt und der süße Artstyle rundet das Ganze nochmal richtig ab. Auch die Musik/der Soundtrack ist ein schöner Begleiter und wechselt zwischen gemütlich, fröhlich, melancholisch, sehnsuchtsvoll, hektisch und spannungsvoll. Ein paar kleinere Flaws hat das Spiel allerdings: - man muss das Game mind. 2x durchspielen, um alle Errungenschaften zu sammeln. - minimale Bugs, die den Spielfluss aber nicht (!) unterbrechen und schnell verschwinden - spannungsvolles, aber abruptes Ende, was viele Fragen offen lässt. Wer storybasierte Spiele und Sidescroller mag, dazu viel Dialog, schöne Musik, süße Tiere und Cozy-/Indie-Game-Atmosphäre, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. :) Klare Spielempfehlung von mir!

A masterpiece of a game. Despite there still being some bugs, a majority of them were quite minor. The rest of the gameplay was wonderful. The characters will live in my heart and with what I do forever. The storytelling was beautiful, really pulling you into the moment with the way the main character goes about sharing their experiences. I would recommend this game if you enjoy a good story, enjoy character relations, and don't mind a softer, more cozy, style of gameplay. There's a lot to learn life-wise, from advice to just moments that we deal with every single day. There is a very positive take on a lot of topics too. It is one of the few games that have made me connect with characters and feel such empathy, to the point of where I cried twice. The music is also very beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful story and experience. I hope to play more games like this one in my lifetime.

I would recommend this game, but only buy when it's on sale :) Too short a story in my opinion to validate the price otherwise. Cute story, but kind of falls off toward the end, leaving what feels like many parts unexplained (though I did look at a forum online that helped explain things I missed/didn't fully grasp) I cried at one of the bigger parts, and it takes a lot to make me cry at a game so that tells you something too. You can tell some heart went into this game. Kindaaaa upset we didn't see some a certain couple of male karens get their comeuppance, but hey, that's just the life of someone in an unforgiving profession.

Great Game.

Sehr liebevoll gezeichnet und lebensnahe Story. Wirklich schönes Game. Auch die Musik passt super dazu und macht eine tolle Atmosphäre.
