Life can be rough for a fledgling internist, as young Finley is about to find out. Today, accomplished indie publisher Assemble Entertainment and newly minted German studio BUNTSPECHT.GAMES unveil a true love letter to wholesome indie adventures and the hardships faced by healthcare workers: Fall of Porcupine.
The game will launch in 2023 on PC via Steam and GOG, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Series X|S, and PlayStation 4|5. Celebrating the announcement, the publisher released a free prologue on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox, with availability on Nintendo Switch as of August 30, 2022.
Delicately dealing with difficult subject matters while also doubling down on the importance of friendship, Fall of Porcupine tells an emotional story from the perspective of a fledgling doctor in a lovingly illustrated world.
Finley is a fresh new face in the town of Porcupine, and players must guide the wet-behind-the-ears doctor through his first few weeks of medical residency. At first glance, the small town of Porcupine is a quaint, friendly place where everyone knows and warmly greets each other. However, after living there for any length of time, it’s clear that not everyone is as honest as they appear to be.
As if that wasn’t devastating enough, Finley will be confronted with a different dilemma altogether: the collision of work and daily life – a reflection of an unhealthy and systemic issue in the healthcare industry at large.
Featuring fun mini-games, sleek platforming, and branching dialog choices, Fall of Porcupine delivers a heartfelt and spirited story of friendship, self-sacrifice, and self-love. Finley must run, jump, and glide through the town of Porcupine, while also diagnosing the townsfolks’ ailments and reporting to the head doctor, who’s far from kind or supportive. Explore the outskirts of town, hang out with friends, and unearth the secrets that keep Porcupine shrouded in mystery.
