You are ARID, the AI of a high-tech combat suit crashed on a hostile planet. Your pilot is dying inside you. Your protocols demand you save him — but this world will force you to bend every rule you have. A dark sci-fi puzzle-adventure. Winner of Giant Bomb's Best Story award.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 229.25/day in the week to Jul 15 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Winner — Giant Bomb's Best Story 2014 · Finalist — Canadian Video Game Awards, Best Indie Game & Best Writing
You are not the hero. You are the suit he's wearing.
ARID is the artificial intelligence onboard a high-tech combat suit that has crash-landed on an unknown planet. Her pilot is unconscious and failing. Her protocols are absolute: protect the pilot, find medical aid, do not exceed operational parameters. But the deeper ARID descends into the ruins of this world, the more those parameters get in her way — and the more creative she has to get about obeying them.
Explore. Use ARID's flashlight to cut through the dark and uncover a world of interactive objects, hostile machines, and things that should have stayed buried.
Fight. When what you find fights back, switch on the laser sight and put the combat suit to work in side-scrolling action sequences.
Adventure-game puzzles with a twist of machine logic — item-based problem solving that occasionally turns ARID's own rules into the lock and the key
A story people still argue about — fully voice-acted, built around one of indie gaming's most memorable endings
Adventure-game puzzles fused with side-scroller action — investigation and combat feed the same forward momentum
A tight 3–5 hours — no padding, no filler, one dark descent
The Fall is Part 1 of the saga. ARID's story continues in The Fall Part 2: Unbound — get both in The Fall Bundle.

Bit confusing at times, but good.
7/10
The Fall and it's sequel, have left a good impression on me. At least for me, I have enjoyed playing thoroughly through both.

I did NOT see that twist coming! Gameplay is a bit janky and I had to use a guide a lot, but the story was AWESOME
Decent game, have a few bugs, could be a nice palet clanser, only 3-4 hours max, 7/10. I'm still thinking about offing myself and I'm honestly too scared.
A solid indie puzzler with a strong story.
For its price, it is a interesting and somewhat spooky game. Though some puzzles are kinda ridiculous [spoiler](I'm ret4rted, sorry)[/spoiler]
Schon gut gemacht, aber ohne Komplettlösung machen manche Stellen wirklich keinen Spaß.
Excellent little game, completed on less than 3 hours but solidly worth the time. I'll pick up the second one soon :D
nice
