Feb. 2025
Fall of Porcupine is a beautifully crafted narrative-driven adventure that immediately caught my attention with its cozy art style and heartfelt themes. Playing as Finley, a young anthropomorphic pigeon doctor navigating the challenges of a small-town hospital, felt both charming and deeply relatable. The game does a great job of capturing the highs and lows of working in healthcare—the camaraderie with colleagues, the pressure of patient care, and the emotional toll of the job. As a doctor, I found many moments strikingly accurate, from dealing with difficult supervisors to feeling the weight of systemic problems beyond my control. The early hours of Fall of Porcupine were delightful, filled with warm interactions, light platforming, and simple yet engaging mini-games that simulate medical tasks. The game’s soft color palette and cozy, autumnal atmosphere made exploring the town and hospital feel like stepping into a comforting storybook. However, as the game progressed, the pacing began to drag. The gameplay loop started to feel repetitive, with dialogue sequences that stretched too long and not enough variation in the tasks. The emotional storytelling remained strong, but the slow progression made it harder to stay invested. While I appreciated the deep themes and the critique of healthcare institutions, the lack of meaningful gameplay evolution made the experience feel like it was running out of steam. Overall, Fall of Porcupine is a heartfelt, charming game that resonates with anyone in the medical field, but it struggles to maintain momentum. If you enjoy narrative-heavy indie games and don’t mind a slow burn, it’s worth checking out. But if you’re looking for something with more engaging gameplay mechanics, it might lose your interest before the credits roll.

I didn't like how you had to play the demo before the full game for some context, that could be confusing to players going in blind. The game was pretty buggy and I had to reload my save file due to a game breaking glitch, luckily that only happened once. I downloaded this game because the art style reminded me of Night In The Woods, I think other fans of that game would enjoy this game as well. Fall Of Porcupine has similar qualities to NITW such as light platforming, mini games, and encourages exploration. The story and characters were fun, I wouldn't mind if they made a sequel.

It has its flaws and its missing..something but its German night in the woods without it being night in the woods. Also the mini games are horrendous but..again there is something about this that just clicks. But its missing something. It does its job.

Cute game so far! It's clearly trying to pull of a Night in the Woods style game, and it's not bad but not comparable. Pros: - Great art style - Cute characters - Interesting story so far Cons: - Far too much self-dialogue - I find the main character to not be very enjoyable, kind of annoying - Seems to be trying too hard to be charming with dialogue

While I'm recommending this game I will say it's with the caveat that it's... not actually a very good game. Do not get me wrong, it's charming, and I loved it, it's just very flawed. With a somewhat disappointing ending, dialogue trees that occasionally negate each other, a world that doesn't really reward you for exploring, and extremely buggy minigames, I highly suggest this game if its on sale. I really hope the dev's fix some of these issues someday ! It would be a stellar game!
