May 10th, 2018 - Vancouver, Canada - Independent developer Over The Moon today announced that its award-winning sci-fi adventure, The Fall, is now available on the Nintendo Switch via the eShop. In The Fall, players take on the role of ARID (Armoured Robotics Interface Device), the artificial intelligence within a high-tech combat suit, whose human pilot has been rendered unconscious.
