Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)

Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) is a game about how perspective can shape the way we view a situation and our surroundings. The ways it portrays that idea is really fascinating. Unreliable Narrators’ narrative game stars two characters: Jeanne, a French woman who has become shipwrecked in 17th Century Canada, and Maikan, a native Innu who is looking to save his people from an unknown sickness. Playing as both characters, the same environment can be perceived very differently, where Maikan greets the wilderness with warmth and familiarity, Jeanne sees the same woods as something frightening and unknown. Two Falls takes this idea a step further, and integrates it into the art direction depending on which character you’re playing, such as a beachside appearing sunny and warm to Maikan and rainy and miserable to Jeanne. The game has also been validated by a Council of Elders in Canada for its portrayal of indigenous culture. Two Falls (NIshu Takuatshina) will launch on PC.
