What Makes Iris.Fall Stand Out
Iris.Fall is a monochrome adventure of light and shadow —- featuring a unique art style, immersive puzzles, and stunning music!
The Story:
After awakening from a dream, Iris follows a black cat into a dilapidated theater, traveling back and forth through a strange labyrinth of light and shadow. As the story unfolds, Iris begins to realize that everything in this theater seems to have some kind of hidden connection to her identity.
Key Features
• Unique monochrome art style
Iris.Fall spotlights a purely black-and-white cartoon style, utilizing transitions between light and shadow to create a distinctive and visually enthralling experience.
• Fusing gameplay with the "light & shadow" system
The concept of "light and shadow" runs throughout the design of the game's art, story, and puzzles. Players seamlessly switch between the two realities which interlace black and white, light and shadow, 2D and 3D.
• Immersive story experience
Become fully immersed in Iris.Fall's suspenseful, stylized atmosphere with progression that feels akin to personal spiritual exploration.

Community Insight:
A wonderful artistic game that was so much fun to play. We wish there was a part 2! Please develop another one.
This game is amazing. Graphics, music, hints are all fantastic.
This game has everything you want in an adventure. Great artwork, sound and puzzles. However it is not really for someone new to adventure games as there is no help in the game. Im sure you can find a walkthrough but that would take away from the beauty of the game.
Excellent puzzle game. Striking graphics. Wish it was longer.
We really love the ambience, the visuals are stunning and some of the puzzles are challenging in a good way. Plus its a cool, creepy story! But trying to move Iris is frustrating. Using an iPad, its surprising how unresponsive play can be; Ill try moving her in ANY direction, but often she wont budge for as long as 15 or 20 seconds, and then all of a sudden she does. Another new glitch is: a complete shut down in between chapters. We havent upgraded to iOS 15 yet in the hopes that this game will get updated and bug fixed beforehand. Ive had this game for about a year, and would love to break it out to play more often, but only if it were less problematic to navigate.
At first we were not so sure that we would like this game but we soon changed our mind after a little game play. It is a very enjoyable game and the art is wonderful.
Its hard for us to find games that we really fall in love with but this was definitely one. It is unbelievable how awesome this game is in the creativity and in the artistry! We really really really need another one to come out as soon as possible! Im so picky on games and we love this one so so much.
Beautiful graphics and audio. It reminds us of the 2000 game Alice for PC. Tiny controls can be a bit tedious on smaller screens, and some puzzles are challenging. But, overall, its obvious that a lot of effort went into making this.
Its not often we encounter an game that warrants a written review but this little gem absolutely does. The gameplay is quite simple, the puzzles had just the right amount of difficulty and we enjoyed playing it so much. It took us approximately 5-6 hours to complete and while playing we hoped each chapter conclusion wasnt the final ending. Worth the price, and we cant wait to see what else this developer gives us.
Highly recommended for puzzle game fans.
For a $5 we really think there should be an option to be able to skip a puzzle after a while. Not only that but for half the puzzles Im just guessing what to do until something happens where we can move forward. Its a beautiful game, but theres definitely needs to be a ton of improvement.
Spent most of the time walking around the scenes. Super sensitive and you have to be in an exact location for an event to work. And the UI isnt consistent. For example, to walk, you have glide around the screen with your finger, but when you get to a puzzle and you need to move one thing to the other side of the screen, the game expects you to tap in two different locations to move the object instead of dragging it. Slow and not rewarding.
