Our take on Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)
Rather than centering combat or open-ended exploration, this adventure uses a fixed narrative route and two subjective viewpoints. Choices shape the protagonists’ development without rebuilding the story into separate branches, making perspective and interpretation the main structural variation.
What is Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)?
Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) is a first-person, single-player narrative game set in 17th-century Canadian wilderness.
It follows Jeanne, a French woman stranded after a shipwreck, and Maikan, an Innu hunter investigating a threat to his ancestral land. The game presents their contrasting perspectives on French and Indigenous first encounters, with separate artistic and musical directions for each character. Exploration and detective-style scene inspection support the story across linear environments. Player choices do not change the linear route, but they influence how Jeanne and Maikan develop. The game includes a canine companion, an original soundtrack by Indigenous musician Eadsé, and contributions from Indigenous creators and a Council of Elders.
