I was impressed by the choices presented for the character creation, especially the pronouns! Once you finish the process of tailoring Morgan to your preferences, the story begins in earnest.ĭecisions are set up with a personality system in mind too. You can change Morgan’s name, pick between three body types (feminine, androgynous, and masculine), change their hair and clothing colors, select pronouns for Morgan, and choose between two very distinct-sounding voices. Together with a small group of misfits from all walks of life within the Empire and beyond, Morgan and Mime must figure out the reason behind the demons’ sudden appearance and hopefully save Anemone Valley and the larger world in the process.Īs if to emphasize the strong degree of choice you have, Arcadia Fallen begins with a simple yet surprisingly detailed character creation process. As the story begins, Morgan inadvertently becomes bound to a cheerful spirit named Mime after a disturbing series of events reveals the beginning of a demon infestation in town: two wind up possessing the only means to seal the malevolent spirits away. Morgan is the apprentice to a skilled alchemist in the relatively sleepy mining town of Anemone Valley, located within the Empire, where magic and spirits exist but are often treated with fear and suspicion. The end result is an enjoyable and rather touching, albeit sometimes flawed, experience.Īrcadia Fallen has you stepping into the role of Morgan, though you can change their name if you so choose. There’s no fear of receiving a bad ending either, only different ways to reach an outcome depending on how you approach and respond to various scenarios.

Will the hero find friendship during their journey, or even potential romance? In fantasy visual novel Arcadia Fallen, you decide how your hero’s story ultimately plays out.
