Gameplay

Players control Finley, a young physician who has recently moved to the small town Porcupine, whose citizens are anthropomorphized animals. The hospital where Finley works has suffered an accident recently, and it has become very busy recently. Fall of Porcupine uses 2D art and is a side-scrolling adventure game. Players interact with Finley's patients mostly through minigames, including rhythm,[2] matching and word games. There is also turn-based combat.[3] Finley's performance at the hospital is graded each day. When interacting with Finley's friends and coworkers, dialogue choices can be chosen.[2]
