The game
Fallen is a single-player dark fantasy action RPG from Aretae Studios, a small independent team. You play Abdiel, an angel who followed Eve into Hell and now searches the Ashen Verge for her.
Abdiel kept watch over Eden's eastern gate, and Eve tended a garden nearby. When she was exiled, Gabriel told him where she had gone and what it would cost: if he went, he could not return. He went, without knowing who had deceived her.
01
Combat is about reading your enemy. Watch the wind-up, parry or slip aside, then punish with fast strings and heavy strikes.
Abdiel has one wing. It stays folded on his back until he sprints or fights, and it carries him out of danger and across gaps. At the Warden's Court, the Ash Warden fights in two phases.
02
Some of the souls you defeat leave you a choice. Absolve a soul and it goes free, and Abdiel's light grows.
Bind it and you can summon it to fight beside you, but every binding pulls him toward darkness. You can also leave a soul be.
03
You meet Cain, Maren and the Unwritten on the road, among others, and their conversations are voiced.
Off the main path there are chests to open and memories of Eve to find. Shrines are where you rest and grow stronger.
Where the game is today
Act I runs from the crater where Abdiel lands, through the village of Emberwick and the Fields, to the Ash Warden and his soul choice. Played straight through, it takes us about 10 to 13 minutes.
It is a development build, and we are still improving combat feel, animation, art and performance. A free demo of Act I for Windows and Mac is coming. We aim to release it in early 2027.
Gamefound campaign
The campaign funds the next step: releasing Act I as a free demo that works properly on Windows and Mac. Follow Fallen on Gamefound and Gamefound will tell you the moment the campaign opens.
