Fall of Porcupine: How We Deal with and Present Serious Issues

You can also find out more about the following: The Fall of the PorcupineXbox is releasing a personal story today about a young resident doctor who has to deal with some very serious and important issues. The employees are the ones who keep the system running, yet their working environment is not pleasant. On top of that, the employees have to cope with grave issues such as illness or death on a regular basis. In order to make sure that this part of the game was portrayed with the appropriate sensitivity, dozens interviews were conducted in advance. We spoke with doctors, nurses and others in the medical industry. These answers helped us form a subjective opinion that was in line with ours. We then used this to craft an emotional story. Porcupine Fall.

Unique Protagonist

Story of Porcupine FallFinley is the protagonist, a new intern starting his first day at St. Ursula Hospital. When it comes to the character design, developers came up with a special idea: all characters are shown as animals. Finley, for example, is a bird, while the characters that accompany Finley throughout the game also appear as animals. “We decided to use animals to make the very serious topic of the healthcare system more pleasant for the players,“ says Sebastian, game designer of Porcupine Fall.

Discussions on Serious Issues

This book isn’t just cute. There are serious topics that we all need to be aware of. For those affected, topics such as serious illnesses can be traumatic. After all, as a resident, Finley’s job includes making diagnoses and caring for his patients. Finley also takes an emotional interest in his patient’s fate.

Fall of Porcupine was created as a narrative adventure, a letter of love to the people we turn to when things are tough. The game deals with sensitive issues through an engaging narrative, relatable character, and meaningful dialogue. There are also tons of mini-games to play, casual platforming, and lots of exploration.
