As Hard As We Fall Announcement!

As Hard As We Fall
A downloadable game

Hi!

We're a small group of art students making a game. More specifically, a psychological horror visual novel. 

I am the creator and director, St.Groire. I'm a digital art major with a focal area on game design and game art. For this project specifically, I've had the idea in my head for probably, what, 8 years now? I am so excited to say that this summer  I've began to  pour truly everything I have into this project, and it's finally gotten developed enough to where I feel confident to announce and talk more about it on a more personal level.  All I can do now is continue to try my very best, build a community,  and hope that it goes somewhere, even if it's somewhere small. That said, please consider following this project and telling your friends! 

But enough about me, let's talk about the game!

What is As Hard As We Fall?

As Hard As We Fall (AHAWF) is, as stated, a psychological horror as well as a visual novel. 

 Play as Jamison Barclay, an apathetic twenty-something year old golden retriever. 

Go through the motions of life, moving into an apartment complex conveniently owned by a "deer" friend,  Athens.

Meet your several odd neighbors and learn about their views on making it through life.

Get sad. Get happy. Figure things out. Watch them fall apart.  Fight a world that's against you. Try not to give up.

Discover that not everything is as it seems.

Logistics?

Unfortunately, it's still way too early in development to give a release date. 

However!

This is a very short game, with a hopeful play time of about five hours.

The plot is already completely written, from beginning to end, revised, and edited.

This means that our entire focus is just art creation and coding, which is proving to take more time than I anticipated!

Shut up! I want to see the game!

Because it's still so early, I only have two screenshots I'm able to share! Please follow us on twitter, instagram, or TikTok to find more updates. Thanks for reading <3 -St.Groire
