Falling Skywards was one of 14 games that comprised the AGS Bake Sale 2012, proceeds went entirely to the charity Child's Play, which gives games and toys to hospitalized children around the world. The common factor between the 14 games is the AGS engine. Although designed for conducting adventure games, we find here also games from other genres.
The adventure is set in a dystopian environment marked by the devastating impact of an asteroid, thousands of fragments of earth were thrown into the air, some returned to the ground, others dismissed with adequate speed and direction, were trapped in the sky, orbiting the planet forever hanging over the heads of the inhabitants of the area as an archaeological relic of a past time where life was more peaceful.
An elite monopolizes the few survivors of the cataclysm resources, while other people have a life of hardship, doing whatever is necessary to have something to put in their mouths. As salvager rummaging in shipwrecks in submarines places, there is a breed of hustlers who play the kind pendants touring the ruins trying to find anything of value to sell to the aristocracy, are called scavengers. Scavenger is a very dangerous job, although at this point gravity is much weaker, facilitating the leap between the old world, but a false step may be the last.
Roger is one of the scavengers, a guy who takes a lifetime dedicated to this task; He began as a child going with his father, and is now been 18 years old and jumping from dilapidated houses to incomplete streets. This latest foray is different, comes across something he had ever seen at that altitude, a tree ... alive! |
