The shift between light and shadow form the backbone of Iris.Fall, an adventure game that follows a little girl into a theater filled with strange clockwork machines.
Following a black cat into an abandoned theater, Iris funds herself stumbling through a winding maze of surreal rooms, mind-bending layouts, and confounding mechanisms. Each of these places and puzzles will have you fiddling with the interplay between light and dark, passing between luminous and shadowy realities. Your movements between these realms, if done at the right times and in the right ways, will allowing you to complete the game’s puzzles and keep moving forward.
Iris.Fall‘s visual style, with its use of bleak black and white, gives the sensation of wandering through someone else’s nightmare, witnessing the broken places that have been cobbled together into a distorted place. It conveys a sense of foreboding, even if you’re not sure what danger is coming. With the events and locations all tying into our protagonist’s story, it feels like some horrible truth is lying at the center of all of these places.
Iris.Fall visual style creates a world that begs to be explored, even as it hints at dark truths buried beneath its black and white halls.
Iris.Fall is available for $14.99 on Steam.
