Gameplay-wise this game has barely any interaction. It felt more like watching a movie. There's a bit of inconsistency when you can sprint or not. It's a very railroady game. The story was pretty good, and the conversations between characters were good, but it didn't feel like there was a lot of agency. I appreciate the message but not sure an indie game was the right avenue for this not just for delivery but also …

I've just finished Two Falls, and I was very touched by the game. It's not a game with hyper-immersive mechanics, but it will seduce you with its story, its writing and its willingness to make known the history of indigenous peoples in Quebec. It's a beautiful story of listening, understanding and openness. It's one more step towards reconciliation, which is really important. Congratulations to the whole team. Ps: …

An excellent walking-sim-like narrative game, set in 17th century French-colonial Canada, which has enough confidence in its immersive storytelling to avoid falling back upon traditional gaming elements, such as puzzles. I learnt a lot from this game, both from its excellently-implemented codex, and from the (mostly) well-written dialogue. The dual-narrative feels original and gripping; and the themes the game …

I'm going to give Two Falls a positive review regardless of anything because it's a small team trying to make an interesting game that they're clearly passionate about. First, performance is terrible. I have a RTX 4070 & Ryzen 9 5900x and had to turn it to Medium @ 1080p in order to get 60 fps with frequent stutters. Second, story is pretty good but a bit biased. I've always been interested in the European/Native …

I wouldn’t really recommend it, but I’d like to support the small developer. I’d give this game a solid 5/10. Pros: Firewatch-style visuals Unique Indigenous perspective Keeps you engaged Chill, narrative-driven experience Memorable emotional moments, like humming a lullaby Dual protagonists with contrasting viewpoints Cons: Walking simulator Voice acting are good but can feel awkward and corny sometimes Christian …

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a lovingly crafted game about Canada in the 1700s. It is mainly in visual novel style where you have to make some decisions and the rest is a walking simulator. It is very linear with little interaction. The story hinges around Jeanne (a French Catholic), whose boat is shipwrecked on the St Laurence River; Maikan, a young Innu (Native Indian) hunter-gatherer and Pierre, a hunter/trader/poacher who connects both of them. You have two narratives running parallel throughout the entire…

positive · AI labelView post →I was extremely pumped for this game to come out. I love story-driven, choice making games and when I saw the trailer for Two Falls, I was hooked. Let me start with things I did like. The art style was warm. It has a "painted" look like what the first Life is Strange does. With this, it makes the game stick out from all the rest. The story is what gives this game brownie points. I believe this is the first game to touch on indigenous people in Quebec. A long history that is unknown to a lot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With this being a recent release, there's bound to be some bugs or performance issues, but despite it all, I love this game. As a Canadian Indigenous person myself, it hits hard and I can relate to the anxieties the Indigenous characters are feeling. I'm not quite finished the game yet but I'm so into it. The style is really pretty and I'm obsessed with the scenery. My only issue is the performance. My PC has the recommended hardware but even on the lowest graphics, it's laggy. It doesn't…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recently played Two Falls: Nishu Takuatshina, and it was a memorable experience, although I'm not done yet with the adventure yet. The game immerses you in 17th-century New France, allowing you to see the world through two characters: Jeanne, a Fille du Roy from France, and Maikan, an Innu hunter. I appreciated how the game offers both perspectives, providing a nuanced look at the interactions between European settlers and Indigenous peoples. The French voice acting is top-notch, with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love a good walking sim! I had the chance to play an earlier demo and I must say the final result is truly a labor or love. And being a french-canadian, it's always nice to see some videogame talk about the history of my people. This is a game I'll play until the end for sure!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In all honesty i have worked on this game, so my review is tainted by that. I worked for a year on this game and hold all people who worked on it at heart. I sincerely appreciated replaying this game, I discovered a lot of work that my friends put in it, rediscovered scenes that we're barely functioning back then with gorgeous art. I was delighted to see this beautiful project attain the level of polish it has. For other people reading this, I whole heatedly encourage you to give it a look and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the start, it is way to many lines for the voice actor, the game loads slowly and it makes the 3D models look very blocky and cheap. My specs are not bad and i should not have problems with parts loading slowly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was just scrolling "upcoming releases" section when I stumbled upon this gem. If you like soulful narrative adventures, it's 100% for you. Great characters, good writing, wonderful visuals and pacing. I finished it in one sitting cause it was just this good. Absolutely recommended.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two Falls has me hooked, even though I haven't completed it yet. The atmosphere and storytelling are captivating, and the artistic direction draws you in completely. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing this journey and seeing where the story goes!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"The world of Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) is populated with complicated characters who are sometimes driven by compassion and integrity, sometimes driven by cruelty and fear, and whose motivations feel deeply authentic."

neutral · AI labelView post →I'll start off with the somewhat obvious- this is a narrative driven walking simulator. You will not have free open-world exploration, but there are discoveries that you will miss if you rush through and do not explore what the game allows you to explore. Look for white circles that turn into either an eye (discovery or story progression), or an arrow (travel). The game is on rails- you do have choices in dialogue choices, but they will not affect the outcome, only the personality and…

neutral · AI labelView post →I was very hyped about this game the moment I saw it, but sadly, this is a refund for me after playing it. I guess the system requirements are for 30fps, also because the fps was locked at 30fps at the start. But I won't play a game on PC that won't stay stable even at 60fps. Even if I didn't care about 60fps, I simply couldn't play something like this because I get major headaches from that. I had anti-aliasing off, and still, in the woods, it was a constant 40-45fps. My specs for anyone who…

Not only does it work smoothly most of the time and look beautiful, but it allows many of us to explore some of the beliefs and traditions of a culture we would likely never learn about otherwise. As someone who is fascinated with history, I believe that the game approaches the historical context of the region and the story in a…

neutral · AI labelView post →A terrific game with great dialogue and story telling! It is so important to know the history and the atrocities committed against the peoples living here by the European colonizers. I am no expert on Canada's history with this subject, but this game has made me want to learn more, and I appreciate that. We cannot rewrite history, but it is important to learn from it so you can do better as a person. Great job, devs! Side note: the game defaults to 30fps for some reason, so make sure you go to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I appreciate the themes it's trying to explore, Two Falls is probably the most boring and dull "walking simulator" (and even that's a stretch) I've ever played. It's extremely passive, lacking meaningful interactions or even exploration. As if that wasn't bad enough, its creators decided to use one of the cheapest tricks in storytelling - killing an animal - to attempt to force any emotional response from the players. Sorry to say it's a no from me (and my dog).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had the pleasure of visiting the Innu reserve last summer and learning about their culture and deep ties to the land and all that lives on it. It was a privilege to return to those forests in digital form and experience this incredibly moving story about the history of the land my family settled on a few hundred years later. This game is incredibly well-written, gorgeous, and depicts the reality of this land's history that too many people living on it often forget. Thank you for this gift.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay-wise you mostly just walk around, talk to people, make some dialogue choices... but the game is quite interesting, I liked the two characters that you get to play as Also, visually, it's quite pretty
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR. Okay for a rainy day. Pick it up when discounted 75% or more. A walking simulator if ever there is one. Literally at times. A nice lesson on the flora, fauna and history of early colonial Quebec. Class material more than a game. It’s short. Seven and a half hours in which I let the game run sometimes while doing other chores. So actually an hour or so shorter. Simple graphics. Poor voice acting (English version played). A linear game with set out paths (nothing wrong with that). Your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd like to give this game a positive review, but right now I can't. The visuals and controls are very choppy and jerky no matter how I tinker with the settings. I'm playing on a Steam Deck so I'll do some research and see if I can figure out how to fix this, but right now I physically can't play the game because it's causing motion sickness. I got through the first chapter before I gave up (due to the aforementioned issues). The story seems like it should have promise, and I'd like to find a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not sure what I was expecting, I try not to spoil games to much before I play. But this story walk through was so beautifully done. So sad and tragic. Well written walking sim, only sometimes did it feel slow (I like sprinting everywhere in games), but overall the pace was nice, the voice acting lovely. The scenery and art is so gorgeous! Ugh and the music on top, thanks for a great experience! I played through twice for achievements, and did all the opposite dialogue, and glad I did.

neutral · AI labelView post →Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) is a first person narrative journey set in the frozen wilderness of 17th-century Canada. In @twofalls.bsky.social you play as 2 protagonists: Jeanne, a young French settler from across the Atlantic, and Maikan, a hunter from an isolated native tribe #indiegames
neutral · AI labelView post →More of a mixed bag. Very little interaction. Poorly optimized. Story was fine, voice acting ok. Worth playing on deep discount if you enjoy point and click walking sims. I can appreciate stories that we don't typically get in games, but the illusion of choice is prevalent and a little misleading.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is much more linear in scope than I expected, but I really appreciated its approach to the historical side of what went on between the Native tribes of Canada and its settlers. The graphics reminded me a lot of Firewatch (which is a positive to me), and the soundtrack is really great to listen to. A solid game for those looking for an interactive historical experience!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really loved Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina). I went into it with some hesitation, as "contrasting perspectives on first contact (and colonisation)" had me a little worried, but after discussing my concerns with the devs and reading more about how the game was created... I gave it a go. I'm so glad I did: this game is wonderful (with one caveat, see below! *). It was so fantastic to see different communities represented so well, and it felt like there was real growth in the characters…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oftentimes when writing reviews for games, I like to mention crucial plot points or a general overview of the story, however with Two Falls i want to spoil as little of the narrative as possible. Two Falls takes place in 17th century Canada and Stars two protagonists Jeanne, a French woman that survives a shipwreck and Maikan, a young Innu searching for what has angered the spirits. The choices you make for each character will change how they interact with others throughout the story. Overall…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gorgeous landscapes, a beautiful soundtrack, a moving story and most importantly, a very good dog. The French voice actress for Jeanne also did an amazing job portraying the character and I loved her performance. All in all, Two Falls: Nishu Takuatshina is an experience I would highly recommend. Congrats to everyone involved in the making of this game!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good narrative driven adventure. it has some beautiful landscapes, interesting story and great voice acting. I just think it was wasting potential to not let the characters speak french or their native languages the whole game. Also I think the story about some kind of monster and the winter spirit go nowhere and the game would be better without those. For achievement hunters: be wary that the game does not have a chapter select and you can't skip any dialogues or cutscenes, so make sure…
