Once Upon A Summer Fall is a game that takes players on a framed narrative journey through two vastly different worlds, the telling of which is heavily inspired by the likes of The Princess Bride and Firewatch.
The game oscillates between a Zelda like action RPG adventure through the mysterious lands of The Dark Below, with responsive narration by the man who dreamed up the world years ago, and a more laid back first person exploration of the abandoned house where the story was once told and where the ghosts of memory new and old still cling.
Progress in one world opens doors in the other as players explore exactly how the two worlds are intertwined through one boy’s bedtime story and the memories of days gone by that still persistently inhabit one old house.
