Fall of Porcupine Story

After arriving in the sleepy town of Porcupine, players will don the scrubs of Dr. Finley, a newbie hospital resident who’s excited to aid the ill and prove himself in the medical field. However, what first starts out as friendly, small-town charm slowly begins to lose its façade, and some of the residents’ good-natured masks begin to slip. Not everyone is honest with themselves and others, and the harsh reality of the healthcare industry begins to rear its ugly face. Throughout this touching and poignant story, Finely will be challenged to face what it means to be a doctor, and that the balance between work and personal life may prove to be far more challenging than he ever anticipated.

As stated above, Fall of Porcupine launches simultaneously on all major console formats and PC. The pricing varies between platforms, however.

  • PC – £17.99 / €19.99
  • PlayStation 4/PlayStation 5- £15.99 / €19.99
