Fallacy of Dawn is set in a dystopian alternate universe, where arcades from the 1980s full of smoke and neon lights still exist. In the game you play Delarion Yar, a man with a neurological disorder and a criminal record who is struggling to survive in this hazy world. Imagine Blade Runner, if Deckard worked in an arcade instead of chasing replicants. The setting is a character in and of itself, but that's just the beginning. In this world, Yar must interact with a unique series of NPCs, all of whom are interesting and not all of which can be trusted.

The ultimate goal of the game is to make enough money to escape the oppressive town of New Haz, but the real fun comes in swimming in the cesspool author Robb Sherwin has created. It's easy to get distracted as you interact with NPCs, explore the environment, and try to unravel what has happened to you -- both the hell you're in, and finding a way out. If you enjoy interactive fiction and love the 80s aesthetic, you'll love this game. I did.
