About Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)
Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) is a first‑person, single‑player narrative adventure set in the 17th‑century Canadian wilderness. Players follow Jeanne, a French king’s daughter, and Maikan, an Innu hunter, as their stories intersect and reveal contrasting cultural viewpoints.
The linear experience combines detective‑style scene inspection with exploration of Unreal Engine 5 environments. Choices made during play influence each character’s personal evolution, while an Indigenous‑created soundtrack and art direction reinforce the game’s historical inspiration.
