KNIGHTS OF THE FALL Demo Lands on Steam
The demo puts Airo Games' combat and visual ideas in front of players before release, and it arrives while the game is still English only, so the Steam trial is the current channel for anyone outside Japan curious about the gravity and time abilities.

Bohemia Interactive has released a Steam demo for KNIGHTS OF THE FALL, an action adventure developed by Airo Games, alongside a new trailer. The game follows Hal in a world opened to another dimension by a 1986 zero-point energy reactor, with Hal working alongside former NASS researcher Yoshida. Combat mixes katana, guns and shuriken with gravity and time abilities. It is currently in English only.
The setting moves in two steps. NASS began researching a mysterious signal from space in 1947, and in 1986 the organization activated a zero-point energy reactor that opened a portal and exposed Earth to the Devourers. Hal collects records left at various locations with former NASS researcher Yoshida to trace the cause.
The combat is built on gravity and time abilities rather than on stance alone. Players can pull enemies in for a katana cut, or use the surroundings to catch several at once. The same abilities work for exploration: removing obstacles, creating footholds. The art mixes hand-drawn styles with 3D rendering in Unreal Engine, including environments that restore themselves as if played in reverse. The demo and trailer are on Steam now.
