The Fall

In The Fall, the playable character is not what you'd expect. Instead of controlling the human character, players take on the role of the technologically advanced combat suit that the person is wearing. Specifically, the artificial intelligence called A.R.I.D. that is given control of the suit's motor functions after the person inside crashes on an unknown planet. The suit isn't able to detect any signs of consciousness from the person, a pilot who was flying a ship through space, and so A.R.I.D. assumes the task of taking the pilot to medical help.

The game's control are simple, but some of the puzzles can get fairly frustrating.

• What do you think of A.R.I.D.? Does "she" possess any personhood or humanity?
• Since you're not playing as a human, do you feel differently about committing acts of violence? Why/why not?
