Fall of Porcupine

In Fall of Porcupine, players guide young internist Finley through his first weeks at a provincial hospital. Set in the small town of Porcupine, where citizens are anthropomorphized animals, players navigate Finley's challenging life as he faces pressure and busy hospital shifts. The game features 2D art and side-scrolling adventure gameplay, with players interacting with patients through various minigames like rhythm, matching, and word challenges, as well as turn-based combat. Finley's performance is graded daily, and players can choose dialogue options when interacting with friends and coworkers, shaping Finley's journey through the hospital.
