Fall of Porcupine

In the role of the young doctor Finley, players in the adventure game Fall of Porcupine experience the balancing act between the exhausting and labour-intensive everyday life in the hospital and the attempt to still make some room for friends and leisure time. The dreamy little town of Porcupine, the delicate pastel graphics and the complex plot combine in an astonishingly harmonious way. Gameplay and storytelling complement each other.

For example, medical examinations are accompanied by mini-games that effectively support the experience of everyday work in the hospital. Without disrupting the overall pleasant and light-hearted feel of the game, serious topics such as the state and structure of the Western healthcare system, dealing with death and grief, and populist movements with supposedly simple solutions are woven into the gameplay.
