History
Fallen Times is a game of its own kind - a mixture between old school, Fast Paced FPS games like Doom and Quake, anime theme visual novels, and a bunch of memes. As an experimental game, I tried my best at blending all ingredients together and made sure all things work coherently.
So... Why does this game called "Fallen Times"? The answer is simple: To make this game doesn't only stand out from the game design point, but also the premise. The development of Fallen Times started in November 2014, when I was working on the prototype, I was also trying to differentiate other old-school FPSes as much as possible, and the solution was obvious - the story side. Most old-school FPSes use basic "Excuse Plot", which is, while good for some people, a well-written story would sweeten the pot. Fallen Times take the different route from most games of its genre, it offers a unique story, a story beyond good and evil (no puns intended), you DO NOT play as a heroine, a liberator, but a mere somebody who tries to live in her own way out of this fallen land.
That doesn't mean Fallen Times is a completely story-focused game, however. This game DO NOT force the player to read all story stuffs, instead, the player can simply ignore the plot, skip all cutscenes and just get into the gunplay, which allow those who don't care about storytelling can still enjoy this game. As I said before, Fallen Times managed to blend all ingredients together, and Fallen Times is a game of its own kind!
