Geeks Under Grace (6.5 out of 10)

I Fell from Grace foregos modern gaming amenities at the risk of alienating contemporary gamers in order to faithfully adhere to the classic adventure genre, resulting in a harrowing, mature enterprise that will require perseverance to experience in full.

I fell from Grace, is pleasantly... unpleasant. It's a very dark tale of a man, who, while - hopelessly - trying to save his dying wife, loses a lot more. The rhyming dialogue will be off-putting to many, yet it's actually an element that creates a nice contrast with all the tears and blood that will be spilled throughout this pixel-art, horror-ish adventure. On the other hand, the actual process of playing this leaves a lot to be desired, and the pacing is painfully slow for what is essentially a narrative-driven experience.

Hardcore Gamer Magazine (2 out of 5)

I fell from Grace wants to be something it’s not, with obvious pulls from certain media. The poor dialogue gives way to poor pacing, which leads to confusion in story and puzzles, taking I fell from Grace from bad to awful. It presents itself with an attitude of being smarter than the player, while demanding attention for how much it knows. It wants to discuss the themes that ‘falling from grace’ represent, but is unable to get past its own ego which seeps from every area of the game. It’s a shame, because the ideas being presented are interesting. When aren’t angels, demons and shady laboratories of interest? That all sounds great, but when it’s executed with the crassness that I fell from Grace makes sure to show off, it becomes the mess of an adolescent mind that never had grace to begin with.

Overall, I Fell from Grace has an interesting story, challenging puzzles; it also looks great and I’d happily recommend it to fans of the point-and-click genre.
