Flatland: Fallen Angle [Flash] is a Noir-influenced game inspired by Edwin Abbot's 1884 novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions [Previously]. The streets in this scenario may not appear rain-drenched, but perceiving the Z-axis is a luxury few people in this city can afford...

Just stopped in here to say that. Flash <> Unity, especially not for *nix users (which for some odd reason Unity refuses to support with the Web Player).

Hmm... Pretty cool. The fighting was a bit hard for me tho and I just sort of ran thru it. I feel like i missed part of the experience this way.

I was kind of hoping to experience Flatland directly, seeing lines and angles as just solid walls and bright points and learning to "feel" around the streets.
